If You Don't By Cubic Zirconium On QVC, Don't Buy It Here Either

Date of Review:  Aug 24, 2002
The Bottom Line: Al Pacino direly miscast in a film that ends up celebrating media manipulation blindly rather than truthfully and honestly examining.
Review: A falsehood from start to finish, "Simone's" sorriest faultlines lie in, well, Simone the character.

The film begins sweetly. Al Pacino as nebbishy never-has-been director Viktor Taransky, who pines for the days when directors were kings...

Simone ~ A witty, thought-provoking satire

Date of Review:  Aug 24, 2002
The Bottom Line: An entertaining, witty film that deals with thought-provoking subjects.
Review: I was unsure of whether I was fortunate or unlucky when I won sneak preview passes for Simone. I had heard almost nothing about the movie -?Al Pacino stars, Simone is probably short for SIMulation ONE, Simone is murdered(?) in the film, and...

A Star Is Digitized

Date of Review:  Sep 1, 2002
The Bottom Line: Despite a few glitches, Simone's one of the most clever satires of Hollywood I've seen in ages. I got my $7 worth, which doesn't happen often enough.
Review: First off, I have to hand it to writer-director Andrew Niccol. It's not easy to come up with a new spin on Hollywood satire, 'cause it's all been done, supposedly. But "S1M0NE" is worthy of a look esp. for those who get a perverse kick out of this...

Poor 'Simone'

Date of Review:  Sep 16, 2002
The Bottom Line: A pretty pathetic satire on Hollywood. There is a good idea floating around in it but it just doesn't work.
Review: The premise is good and should be entertaining: When an unbankable movie director (Al Pacino) down on his luck loses his spoiled superstar (Winona Ryder) from his current film, the studio won?t allow a replacement and wants to shelve the picture...

I Am The Death of Real: S1m0ne

Date of Review:  Mar 1, 2006
The Bottom Line: Simone says!
Review: Oh, fakery. How we adore thee. Simone is a movie all about the wide wide world of fakery, and the people who fall captive to it every day of their lives.

It's hard to tell sometimes, when you have a movie about fakery, just how fake the...

1s Th1s The Future 0f H0llyw00d?

Date of Review:  Feb 24, 2003
The Bottom Line: In a world where almost everything we see not with our own eyes is digitally enhanced - could our actors one day be bits of 1's and 0's?
Review: In Gattaca, Andrew Niccol took us on a vision of what the future could be like with advances in DNA sequencing. With The Truman Show, he took us on a vision of what the future could be like for reality TV. And, once again, with S1m0ne, he takes us...

'S1m0ne' is the real deal

Date of Review:  Aug 29, 2002
The Bottom Line: A smart and savvy satire of celebrity.
Review: On paper, S1m0ne has many things going against it. After logging considerable time on the studio shelf (it bears an unadjusted 2001 copyright) New Line has given the film a minimally-promoted dead-of-August release date, which doesn't exactly set...

Simone with Al Pacino

Date of Review:  Oct 26, 2004
The Bottom Line: Unless you really like Al Pacino, I don't recommend it.
Review: "Simone" from 2002, a movie that suffers heavily from major loopholes in the script and plot by relatively still new director, Mr. Andrew Niccol.

Some of the problems the movie has though are another overrated and average performance from...
