*Michael Harris - Jessup *Reception
The film received mixed to poor reviews. Liz Braun, writing in the Toronto Sun, gives it 3 1/2 out of 5 and states "The Technical Writer is a film that works because of the writing. Jessup's transformation -- via passion -- is not a Hollywood geek-to-hunk fantasy but a rather endearing study of a regular guy's surprise to discover his own capacity for joy." Film Threat's Merle Bertrand concluded "This is still a decent film, however. Like an instruction booklet that's actually well written and interesting, “The Technical Writer” is, for the most part, a pleasant and unexpected surprise." Variety's Dennis Harvey begins "A tepid drama that starts out looking like a routine erotic-thriller but ends up as something even less interesting". Geoff Pevere of the Toronto Star gave it 2/5 saying "While the set-up is pure neo-noir -- vamp wife, slimeball husband, sucker hero -- The Technical Writer takes its eye off the light at the end of the tunnel." Writing in the Globe and Mail Stephen Cole gave it one star, saying "What a load! The Technical Writer is a numbingly bad movie and a glorious inspiration to every wannabe filmmaker with a "deeply personal" script wasting away in the bottom drawer of his or her desk."References
