Reaction: Solid numbers considering the R rating, the drama sub-genre and the one-man cast. Thankfully that one man was Russell Crowe, who is showing he has some box office appeal in recent seasons.
"Steven Knight's foray into science fiction has certainly resulted in a very esoteric film, that is thankfully ably anchored by Russell Crowe's great solo performance." - Michael Carthage, Associated Press
"Sure, Russell Crowe gives an interesting performance, but I'm just not sure there was enough of a story. And what story there was, alternated between too weird and not weird enough." - Mark Plainsview, ReelViews
"Did the film always make sense? Definitely not. But the real question should be, was I bored? And the answer to that would also be definitely not. WINTDIS is not the kind of movie that gets made very often any more, which made it all the more refreshing." - Grace Palance, indieWire
