A frustrating experience, made more so by the seemingly self-referential moments in the film.

Solondz is without doubt an artist of uncompromising vision, but that vision is beginning to feel, if not morally bankrupt, at least terribly monotonous.

In his latest effort, Storytelling, Solondz has finally made a movie that isn't just offensive -- it also happens to be good.

That Storytelling has value cannot be denied. Not even Solondz's thirst for controversy, sketchy characters and immature provocations can fully succeed at cheapening it.

Despite [Solondz's] undeniable talent, however manipulative, his stories are too sour and mean-spirited for my taste.
