	Intermission (2004) Movie Review - The Hollywood News
		Intermission, for my money, belongs right along side Passion of the Christ, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Touching the Void as one of the best films of 2004, and even though it's only April, it's shaping up to be one hell of a year.
		As I stated, Intermission certainly has darker, mean spirited moments, but some of the reviews I've read for this movie have been fairly misleading, as many of them suggest that Intermission is full of characters without heart.
		Intermission offers up plenty of twists and turns and it is violent at times, but at it's core, this is really a movie about love.

	Intermission - Movie Review - Stylus Magazine
		Intermission is a story about a struggling reality-TV producer, wronged women, downtrodden retail workers, lonely guys, kitchen furnishings, a deviant, rock-throwing kid, and… uh, no, that’s not quite it either.
		Intermission is about a dozen stories going on at once that deal with roughly as many peoples’ lives and how they intertwine and sometimes explosively collide.
		Intermission manages to distinguish itself by foregoing MTV editing, willfully incomprehensible colloquialisms and a breathtaking body count in deference to (of all things) love.

	Joe Critic \| "Intermission" Movie Review & More
		Intermission, written by playwright/director Mark O'Rowe, and directed by first-time director John Crowley, is a large ensemble piece with 11 main characters, 54 overall characters, all connected through the aforementioned John (Cillian Murphy), his beloved Dierdre (Kelly Macdonald), an Irish pub and a common theme.
		This technique gives Intermission a more humanistic touch, as if a naked eye is capturing the events as they happen, rather than a hunk of metal on crane.
		Intermission may not be a classic in the making, nor is the style completely original, but it is great fun nonetheless.

	Louisville Scene \| Movies \| Movie Review \| 'Intermission' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Yet the wit and verve of "Intermission," from first-time director John Crowley and novice screenwriter Mark O'Rowe, far outshine the occasional character chaos and conversational cacophony.
		Often bizarrely funny, the movie freshens up the hip European crime-romp genre pioneered by "Trainspotting" and "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" with a stronger female presence and a lovably dim gang of saps and sad sacks.
		"Intermission" will either grab or repel you in the opening sequence, as Farrell's Lehiff seemingly embarks on the first tender moments of new romance with a store clerk he's just met before abruptly revealing his true colors.

	MCN: 20 Weeks of Summer - Week Twelve
		The seven $100 million-plus movies so far (projecting Click as one, though it's not there yet) ties the 2003 record for that stat but still is pretty much average for early summer, since we haven't seen the heights in the top titles.
		While I expected to see an upswing in the worldwide numbers, as that market continues to grow, the reality is that at this point of this summer, overall business is off hundreds of millions among the top titles when compared to the last five years.

	Intermission Movie Review - Intermission Movie Trailer - The Boston Globe
		Actually, the intermission referred to is the break in the relationship between John (Cillian Murphy, last seen running from zombies in "28 Days Later") and Deirdre (Kelly Macdonald, the naive maid of "Gosford Park"), two aimless young Dubliners.
		Farrell doesn't act like a movie star here, but he clearly is one, and the hairtrigger Lehiff manages to stay part of the ensemble while burning a hole through every scene he's in, even when he's wearing a rubber mask and holding one of the characters hostage.
		"Intermission" sometimes goes too far in connecting its multi-narrative dots, and the jiggling, zoomy camerawork -- this year's model for movie "realism" -- shouldn't be taken in on a full stomach.

	Intermission (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Intermission is a 2003 motion picture directed by John Crowley which tells a story of a young couple and people surrounding them.
		Like many of the characters seen in the movie, Lehiff (Farrell) has a talent for trouble with the law, hence he sings the song, “I Fought the Law” (written by Sonny Curtis), at the end of the movie.
		His character is therefore incomplete without doing something criminal, and, indeed, many, if not all, of the characters in the movie seem totally dysfunctional and as incomplete as he is, albeit in their differing ways.

	Movie Habit: Review of Intermission (2004), *** 1/2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Smoothly shifting between subplots while capturing disparate takes on life and love, Intermission is a gem with a sense of humor that jumps from vicious to sweet and back again.
		With its independent film sensibilities, Intermission has a satiric edge that is comfortable poking fun at life in Ireland as well as taking jabs at the media and the contributions to Irish culture made by the United States.
		Intermission is a low-budget independent film from Ireland, and that works to the movie’s advantage as it reverts back to good old-fashioned storytelling and a collection of memorable characters that make this Intermission a break well worth taking.

	Intermission (2004) - Colin Farrell , Colm Meaney , Cillian Murphy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Intermission is a raucous story of the interweaving lives and loves of small-town delinquents, shady cops, pretty good girls and very (very) bad boys.
		There's the hapless romantic and his sex-starved best friend, the hotshot detective and the crook he's after, a young girl on the rebound with an older married man (not to mention his deserted wife), an ambitious TV producer, abandoned fiancie, preteen trouble-maker -- all unaware of how their choices are profoundly intertwined.
		INTERMISSION, a new movie from IFC Films, featuring Colin Farrell, is in theaters Friday, March 19th.

	Movie DVD for Intermission
		The entire movie is about events in the lives of the people it focuses on, but very little about what happens in between.
		If Intermission the movie is a disappointment, then Intermission the DVD release is even more so, because the movie is pretty much the only thing the DVD has going for it.
		Neither scene adds much of anything to the movie, and as I can’t believe they were the only two moments cut out of this film, I can’t understand why they were selected to be included in the DVD release.

	Intermission London Movie Review
		By turns funny, shocking and moving, Intermission is an extremely enjoyable comedy drama with great performances from its ensemble cast.

		In short, Intermission is a well-acted, impressively directed, extremely enjoyable comedy drama that is by turns funny, shocking and touching, with a terrific script and believeable relationships.

	Intermission (2003) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The movie follows parallel story lines of some random characters with different tastes, ambitions and perspectives.
		This dilemma in writing the screenplay perhaps weakened the basic plot and the movie lost its focus.
		It did deliver its entertaining and surprise-filled climax but I did not exactly want that clichéd approach of film-making especially when the movie started with a promise to be something different.

		Intermission presents a slice of life, the passage between breaking up and making up, exploring how our lives intersect, and the power we all possess to affect the lives of those around us.
		The rough-edged vitality of contemporary Irish filmmaking is readily apparent in Intermission, a deliriously ambitious fl comedy in which 54 characters and 11 plotlines compete for consistently impressive screen-time.
		INTERMISSION was filmed in Ireland and you have these Irish actors with their heavily-accented English, which is wonderful but hard to understand at times.

	Intermission - Movie Review
		The (literally) hard-hitting 'Intermission' maps out the intersecting lives of a group of Dubliners who are between partners, and follows their thoroughly coarse, often violent and generally unhinged quest for some sort of stable relationship.
		Stripping most of the romance away from the romantic comedy genre, the film depicts a world where love hurts, and where radical shifts in destiny are just a stone's throw away.
		This unpredictability makes the whole daft chain of events compelling to watch, as does the extremely crude, absurd dialogue and the frequent bursts of violence - almost every character is at some point punched, shot, scratched, covered in blood, shat or pissed on.

		The result is an alternately depressing and humorous sideways glance at the way that people make their life decisions, seen through a group of duplicitous characters each of whom has a stubborn, selfish side and a soft, vulnerable side.
		Sally (Shirley Henderson) is the downtrodden young woman with the "tash," and is also the sister of Deirdre (Kelly Macdonald) who is on the rebound after a hard breakup.

	Movie Review - Intermission - eFilmCritic
		As Intermission begins we see him chatting up a waitress, convincing her in barely a minute that maybe, just maybe, he's the love of her life.
		This is a film that simply needed another six months of rewrites, along with some advice to those behind it that maybe they need to pick a genre and run with it, rather than throwing together a bunch of amusing scenes and trying to find a way to make them flow.
		That said, there are some funny moments in Intermission, and Farrell certainly does chew the scenery when he's on screen.

		The movie, which features an ensemble cast that includes such people as Colin Farrell and Colm Meaney, looks at several stories that all revolve around a single, fractured relationship.
		The intertwining plots are clever, but the only memorable part is when Farrell flirts with a female clerk and then eventually punches her in the face so he can take her money.
		Intermission is a fun, little movie that is worth a rental, but it'll be forgotten in a year's time.

		"InterMission," a loosely connected ensemble collage that's part crime caper, part romantic comedy set in an Irish town, proves likeable if not brilliant.
		It's a scene ripped almost from the opening of "Out of Sight." Colin Farrell, turning a little Clooney-esque charm on a blushing shop clerk, in a ploy to sweet-talk her out of the proceeds from the till.
		The whole movie "interMission" is kind of like that would-be gentleman-grifter.

	Intermission - Movie Review
		What Intermission resembles just as handily, though, is an Irish Love Actually, which is to say it’s like Love Actually with a lot more drinking and violence.
		It’s a useful means of tying these storylines together, I suppose, and provides some chuckles, but its lack of thematic connection to the rest of material, and its minor (yet heavy-handed) satire of television documentaries bear little post-movie scrutiny.
		A lot of Intermission is like that: Entertaining as it goes along, leaving you wanting more of this (the offbeat, offhand humor), less of that (the male characters’ haplessness), satisfied but not elated.

	AboutFilm.com - Intermission (2003)
		The notoriously hard-drinking, hard-partying actor seems more comfortable in Lehiff's shoes than the polished characters he's played in Hollywood movies like Phone Booth and S.W.A.T. Though not the protagonist, Lehiff is the catalyst of John Crowley's tragicomic Intermission, produced by Neil Jordan's and Stephen Woolley's newly formed Company of Wolves.
		Farrell's participation is probably the only reason Intermission has found U.S. distribution—the Irish accents are thick and the production is bare bones—but this film is still about the universal yearnings for love, acceptance, and respect.
		Their desires may express themselves in small and petty ways, but they are desires common to us all.
