(1 - 15) of 15 OFCS Rating: 73% Fresh Page   1   B+ "A film of miniature treasures...a lyrical picture, not forceful. Give it some time, and it's almost sure to get under your skin."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf 3/5 "conjures up a handful of winsome delights in its brief running time"   Filmcritic.com   Chris Barsanti "While the scene announces the film's intensive focus on water -- a sign of transition, loss and rebirth -- it is also a sign of its stylized poetry, sometimes lovely, sometimes precious."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs "Its seventy-eight minutes are dense and resonant, a weave of stories related by theme, plot and beachfront location."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Donald J. Levit 3/5 "An imaginative Israeli film about loneliness, missing persons, and the value of truly being present with others."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat "Very unusual, but very likeable and quite colorful, as well."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 6/10 "We get a mix of comedy, tragedy, and some mysticism. The stories are strange and offbeat and just matter-of-factly seem to drift into magical realism."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper 2/4 "Jellyfish exists in a no man's land, adrift in vague, waterlogged abstractions on which the filmmakers can hang their characters' collective baggage."   Slant Magazine   Paul Schrodt 1/5 "Although it runs 78 minutes, it feels like 78 hours. This is a Jellyfish with no sting."   Film Threat   Phil Hall B- "...an intricate weaving of the separate lives of its three [femme]principals. Their story is told with an intelligent understanding of the characters"   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 8/10 "A wonderfully complex exploration into people's attempts to control the fates and their own discovered strengths in the wake of illusory failure."   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson 6/10 "...the contrivances ... allow the filmmakers to tell the stories of a number of different characters who would otherwise have no business being in the same film."   Playback:stl   Sarah Boslaugh B "It has the modest scope of a short-story collection, with simply but vividly sketched characters that briefly glow within their tales."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 7/10 "It is a restful film, and one full of wise observations."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 15) of 15 OFCS Rating: 73% Fresh Page   1
