Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
The characters spend far too much time working through their problems with drama-deadening directness.

fresh:
It's the sort of Sundance-approved movie that takes place in a stereotypically bleak rural locale, while an acoustic guitar twangs mournfully over the soundtrack.

Indie drama reveals talent in front of and behind the camera.

fresh:
Inevitably, the film devolves into weepy catharsis, but with slick cinematography and colorfully cruel dialogue for Scott to chew up and spit at every member of this fine ensemble.

fresh:
The Vicious Kind upends the heavily tread dysfunctional family drama in ways that are unique, surprising and memorable.
