Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Like Potrykus, Burge shows great daring, his performance a high-wire act of ballistic anomie and genuine empathy; we may find Marty repugnant, but only because we fear ending up like him, a disillusioned hellion desperate for a way out.

With its casual deadpan attitude, Buzzard offers a nightmare portrait of arrested development and anomie for the age of inequality.

Potrykus's puckishly outrageous visions are short on insight, but they pack an enduring hallucinatory power.

fresh:
Love it, hate it or tolerate it with reluctance, "Buzzard" has a ruthless clarity of vision, and breaks new ground in pushing character-based comedy right to the edge of profound discomfort.

fresh:
Tough to categorize, tougher to shrug off, "Buzzard" firmly places young indie filmmaker Joel Potrykus on the ones-to-watch list.
