"achronological" style which back then (and even today by some degree) increases the chances of a film being labelled cool amongst teenagers. ❋ Unknown (2009)
I was originally responding to the summary dismissals of the film (and its story) that were based on the fragmentary evidence of the trailers, to the decision not to see the film because its story can be nothing but "vapid" and improbable -- again, based on the trailers, which are incomplete, achronological snippets of the full film. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The baldness of Dreiser's dismissal of any kind of narrative that doesn't "go forward in a more or less direct line" should seem comical to us now, date-stamped as it is: the convention-thwarting achronological narrative has become a standard feature of film and television, has become conventional. ❋ The Huffington Post News Team (2010)

While Gray's body of work is the inverse of Mr. Soderbergh's, in that all of his monologues are part of on continuing autobiographical impulse, Gray's achronological storytelling has had an influence on Mr. Soderbergh's most formally ambitious films like "The Limey" and "Che," which collapse memory and prophecy into an extremely active present. ❋ By AMY TAUBIN (2010)
