Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Korine has found an evocative subject, but he remains entirely too cavalier in this attitude towards narrative coherence.
– Philip Marchand,
Toronto Star,
30 May 2008
fresh:
In contrast to the grimy and occasionally grotesque Gummo (1997) and Julien Donkey-Boy (1999), this drama has a more gentle, Felliniesque feel.
– J. R. Jones,
Chicago Reader,
30 May 2008
rotten:
The film doesn't work, and indeed seems to have no clear idea of what its job is, and yet (sigh) there is the temptation to forgive its trespasses simply because it is utterly, if pointlessly, original.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
30 May 2008
rotten:
A movie that goes to extraordinary lengths to say ordinary things.
– Rick Groen,
Globe and Mail,
30 May 2008
fresh:
Korine falls so thoroughly in love with many of his images, including his opening shot, that he stretches them out in hypnotic slow motion.
