	Media	Author	Review
		Janet Maslin The New York Times	"In allying himself with the monastic Dogma esthetic (...) the patron saint of brilliant cinematic eccentricity, Mr. Korine emerges more clearly this time as a filmmaker"
		Desson Howe The Washington Post	"[Korine] doesn't write or direct so much as indulge the savant-idiocy of his unsophisticated originality."
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"It demonstrates that Korine is the real thing, an innovative and gifted filmmaker whose work forces us to see on his terms (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Clark Collis Empire	"From his contribution to 'Kids', nobody was quite sure what to make of this-time director Korine. Now we know: pretencious (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"This is a clever, agile, provocative movie in which the director displays his crisply refrigerated connoisseurship of human dysfunction and pain."
		Michael Thomson BBC	"[It] is tiresome in the extreme (...) Irritatingly, all the actors are wrapped up in a style which is like being locked in a room with someone who just won't sit still (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
