Lasse HallstrReviews
The HoaxThe film does not shy away from the innate unlikability of its leading man and it also explores, cannily, the damage one person’s dishonesty can inflict upon everyone around them. [15 November 2007]
The Hoax (2006)Even as The Hoax works to wring emotional consequence from its many layers of lies, you're hard-pressed to believe it. [6 April 2007] 
Casanova (2005)This would be the cleaned-up, wearisome, supposedly romantic version of the notorious Casanova. [24 April 2006] 
An Unfinished Life (2005)For his part, Lasse Hallström likes the subtler strokes, as the scene when Redford sits in his truck and is unable to start it. [10 April 2006] 
Casanova (2005)Gaudy and giddy, this Casanova is full of energy but also strangely limp. [6 January 2006] 
An Unfinished Life (2005)For all its attention to fading landscapes and independence, cowboys and loyalties, the movie is more quaintly melodramatic than adventurous. [13 September 2005] 
My Life As a Dog (Mitt liv som hund) (1985)The best tales about growing up incorporate the anxieties of childhood. [28 May 2003] 
The Shipping News (2001)Quoyle is yet another of Kevin Spacey's damaged souls, but a nice one. [1 January 1995] News
