Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Korine's objective is so narrow and mean, and his viewpoint so colored by smug, adolescent condescension, that Gummo comes off like a mean-spirited prank.

rotten:
No conceivable competition [this year] will match the sourness, cynicism and pretension of Korine's debut feature.
– Janet Maslin,

rotten:
In real life, this town was devastated by a tornado 20 years ago. According to Korine's version of things, it never recovered.

C'mon, Harmony. Mano a boyo. What are you really trying to prove here?

rotten:
Enfant terrible Harmony Korine makes a bizarre, idiosyncratic directing debut with his uncompromising look at youth alientaion in Middle-America, whose downbeat tone and off-putting imagery should appeal to small minority of viewers.
