rotten:
The movie's refusal to judge is its most interesting attribute, if one many audiences won't be able to get around.

rotten:
Few ticketbuyers will take joy in The Pleasure of Being Robbed, Joshua Safdie's pranksterish New York indie portrait of a deeply unsympathetic young distaff hustler.

rotten:
Exposes itself as a technically deficient bore with little on its agenda.

The chance to discover a raw talent like this (who'll convince you that every movie deserves a dream sequence featuring a polar bear) is a pleasure indeed.
