Avis Metacritic

Feels like it could go blow up at any time. It implodes instead, and the meltdown, though visible in one of the final sequences, is still corrosive.

It seems at first to be merely a jumble of discordant images ("Freaks" shot by the "Blair Witch" crew) but then, if you stay with it, the pattern emerges from the jumble.

Korine confirms his reputation as one of today's most experimentally minded filmmakers, helped by an inventive cast including German director Herzog in a surprisingly strong performance as the father.

Looks like no other recent release...certainly rich enough to warrant more than one viewing.

I'd never seen anything like it, and can say that I hope to never see anything like it again.

The stranger and more unusual the characters, and the less they're explained, the better.

A handheld and grainy exercise in cine-stupefaction...too spastic to connect...the movie just flails the air.

Sucker bait for the sort of credulous cinast who'll buy anything ugly and boring that looks like it's avant-garde...rancid stew of cheap shocks, sleaze and phony artiness.

A self-indulgent mess.

Juvenile and pointless.
