    I´ve just seen it (already started). I really enjoyed it and I guess that´s how it has to be; I ´ll have to accept the fact some people won´t like it... we´re all different after all. However, I´d be surely satisfied by knowing that everyone was caught by at least some fragment of it. That is, we´re all different in this world, but deep in the heart, we´re all the same. Good bye Expand

    This movie, contrary to one of the "official" reviews, DOES grab you by the throat. Whether you are a fellow "Chelsea-ite" or not, this movie expresses the human condition in a way that no one will miss. After watching this movie and living through the actors, you become part of the Chelsea in a way that is impossible to express. Ethan Hawke did a wonderful job invoking the ghosts of this beautifuly haunting hotel. This movie is the next best thing to living there. Robert Sean Leonard and Rosario Dawson bring a combined reality to all of the residents of the Chelsea--past, present and future. If you have never lived in the Chelsea Hotel, watch this movie...You'll be there next week. Expand

    I think this movie shows a great deal about the human condition and our relationships. There is so much said with so few words. All one has to do is just WATCH the film and take the characters into themselves and relate it to their own experiences. No one can tell me that this isn't a brilliant film that captivates it's audience...if the audience would just give it a shot.

    This is bar-none this best movie i have seen for a long time. the critics who bomb this movie obviously arent the smartest people in the world. i guess its because the movie actually makes you think and use your imagination that it somehow throws them for a loop so in return they can not understand the true meaning and beauty of this ground-breaking film. ethan hawke is the f-ing man.

    Works equally poorly as a tourist brochure and as a drama.

    Speak a great deal, but they don't have much to say. A dull ensembler.
