Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Dark and giddy at the same time, Leaving Las Vegas takes us into dreamy, intoxicated places no movie about an alcoholic has gone before.

fresh:
We're not talking high, morally instructive tragedy here, just a hard lesson in postmodernist outlawry and its sad little anarchies.

fresh:
The film pulls no punches, takes no prisoners and flies in the face of feel-good pictures.

fresh:
The plot goes nowhere, but under the pornographic circumstances Figgis, Cage, and Shue all do fine jobs.
