Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Glenn Lovell, San Jose Mercury News: Brutally funny -- and not a little horrifying. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: The work of someone who has read too much of his own press, and in his rush to make a film to address critics, forgot to come up with a movie worth seeing. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: [Solondz is] so interested in challenging us and offending us that he's sacrificing some of the storytelling in each of these films. Read more
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: It feels like a transitional film for a director with something to get off his chest, and whose best work is hopefully yet to come. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: Awfully funny. And I do mean awfully. Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: Going over the top while sustaining a poker-faced tone, Solondz makes sure that whether you love or hate what you see, you can't ignore it. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: A frustrating experience, made more so by the seemingly self-referential moments in the film. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Shocking only in that it reveals the filmmaker's bottomless pit of self-absorption. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: A virtuoso work in every aspect in which Solondz shakes a fist at the inescapability of human limitations colliding with the perversity of fate. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: 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. Read more
Steven Rosen, Denver Post: I think Solondz, as dispassionately as possible, is offering a pretty shrewd and insightful look at the nature of exploitation and manipulation in society. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: Solondz creates a unique landscape of suburban-bred misery, hypocrisy, and vulnerability, a bleak vista that continually forces viewers to shift sympathies and antipathies. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: In his latest effort, Storytelling, Solondz has finally made a movie that isn't just offensive -- it also happens to be good. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: The art of Storytelling too often degenerates into a rant, losing its very own hard-bought truth. Read more
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture: Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: Despite [Solondz's] undeniable talent, however manipulative, his stories are too sour and mean-spirited for my taste. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: An inelegant combination of two unrelated shorts that falls far short of the director's previous work in terms of both thematic content and narrative strength. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: By not averting his eyes, Solondz forces us to consider the unthinkable, the unacceptable, the unmentionable. Read more
Charles Taylor, Salon.com: More than any other filmmaker, Solondz represents the worst trend of American indie filmmaking over the last 10 years: the movie as freak show. Read more
Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle: Sometimes seems less like storytelling than something the otherwise compelling director needed to get off his chest. Read more
J. Hoberman, Village Voice: The leanest and meanest of Solondz's misanthropic comedies. Read more
