Movie review

From Time Out New York

Three smart filmmakers produce three whiffs on the theme of love. Wong's contribution, "The Hand," allures with gauzy, golden cinematography, but it feels like a carefully wrought fake made by some passionless Wong clone. Soderbergh's flimsy entry has even less going for it, resembling one of those cutesy black-and-white cartoons from The New Yorker. Of Antonioni's shockingly pretentious segment—in which busty neurotics loll around loft spaces au naturel and utter lines like "Everything's so damn white here"—the urge to sputter a laugh is almost inescapable.
