Editorial Reviews

From The New Yorker

Michael Steinberg's movie is set in the Southwestern town of Enfield. A young, unloving couple called Nick (Tim Roth) and Beth (Bridget Fonda) are about to leave town; instead, they leave each other. Nick drives off into the desert, thirsting vainly for his roots, while Beth stays home and goes to bed with a slimy housepainter, Sid (Eric Stoltz). Why she should do this is anyone's guess; but then private motivation, like as much else about the film, seems arbitrary and floating. Steinberg wants to tell a tale of boredom, of a generation almost too cool to take decisions, and it's no surprise that his movie should fall prey to the same failings; as time passes, and as Stoltz's character labors us with dud hippie mantras, it becomes hard to care what happens to these people. Tim Roth survives by the sheer prickly push of personality, and Phoebe Cates has some upbeat moments as his ex-girlfriend, but it's a struggle all the way. The camera follows suit; the crisp, sunbaked images of the first half-hour promise a clarity that slowly blurs and fades. -Anthony Lane

5.0 out of 5 stars Legend is a 10, August 2, 2005
By Linda Abbott (Ogden, UT, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this combo, quite frankly, because I wanted The Legend of 1900. I still haven't watched the other movie but the deal was so good that I couldn't pass it up. I got both movies for less than the cost of the movie I wanted. The Legend of 1900 is a remarkable story of the human psyche told with magnificent music, humor, wonderful acting and beautiful photography. I don't usually watch a movie more than once and so I own very few of them..but this one needed to be mine and I never tire of watching it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mislabeled Comedy, May 24, 2003
By "starcowboy" (McLean, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bodies, Rest & Motion (DVD)
This touching movie, set in a fictitious Arizona town, has been officially labeled a "comedy" by the studio. Indeed, Tim Roth's portrayal of the non-committal boyfriend has its grin-grabbing moments: "Ya looking or buying?"

However, this story is much more dramatic than anything comedic. I've seen the movie more than a dozen times and am always drawn to Fonda's loneliness, Roth's apathy, Stoltz's self-assurance, and Cate's empathy.

Coupled with a deeply emotional soundtrack, "Bodies, Rest and Motion" is a MUST HAVE. It's about time (10 years) this movie was sent to DVD!

But, when the studio says that these characters are "hilariously intertwined," don't believe it!

4.0 out of 5 stars This is a review of the combo, November 9, 2005
By Patty MacDuffie (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Legend of 1900 is an outstanding flick, truly great. Bodies, Rest & Motion is one of those flicks that you keep watching because you're hoping it has to get better. It never does. Don't bother with buying the combo of the two flicks. Just get Legend. Only because Legend is such a strong 5 stars by itself keeps me from rating the combo lower.
