Teenagers Solomon and Tummler kill time in Xenia, Ohio, a small town that has never recovered from the tornado that ravaged the community in the 1970s.
Top critics, in their words
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.
C'mon, Harmony. Mano a boyo. What are you really trying to prove here?
In real life, this town was devastated by a tornado 20 years ago. According to Korine's version of things, it never recovered.
No conceivable competition [this year] will match the sourness, cynicism and pretension of Korine's debut feature.
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.
