Anesthesia's reviews
Media reviews
Roger Ebert
'Anesthesia' is equal parts civics lesson and ideological confession
A choral story on Robert Altman and Paul Haggis' film line with extreme situations, human misfortunes and celebrated phrases.
A cinematic sedative, Tim Blake Nelson?s latest directing foray is a pile of existential gibberish
Once again one of those films that anticipated its circular form and nothing modest aspirations from their narrative structure.
Chicago Sun-Times
'Anesthesia' explores the various methods employed by emotionally broken and spiritually bruised humans to get through the next day.
New York Times
Like few contemporary films, ?Anesthesia? distills the anxious intellectual tenor of the times.
The Wrap
'Anesthesia' demands to be taken very seriously, and it earns that right.
Variety
Despite the presence of names like Kristen Stewart and Glenn Close in the cast, 'Anesthesia' is unlikely to rouse much commercial attention.
