This short film was packaged on video with Hartley's featurette "Surviving Desire."

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Theory of Achievement has mixed reviews with a rating of 6.2/10. Good for a relaxed evening without high expectations.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1991. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: viewers looking to try something new without being too demanding.
