Top Critic
When every other scene looks like a cola, jeans or motorcycle commercial -- perfectly unposed with hair proudly mussed -- Gallo's motivations seem too compromised.

Top Critic A humorless self-indulgent and self-loathing mess that is saddled with an uninteresting story and arty pretensions.

Personally, I think there's a haunting and fairly poignant story here; too bad it's surrounded by so many damn driving scenes.

Top Critic Vincent Gallo is probably a much more interesting fellow than Bud Clay, the inarticulate motorcycle racer he portrays in The Brown Bunny.

Top Critic Is it good? Not really. But as was the case with his Buffalo 66, Gallo once again shows himself to be a fascinating enigma and possibly his own worst enemy.

If this is a 'feature film,' then so are your old home movies, or videotapes from a convenience store's security camera. ... It's not just one scene; the whole movie blows.

For all its anti-action, The Brown Bunny gets its teeth in you and shakes.

A passable, if often dreary, evocation of those '70s road movies in which disillusioned young men (and the occasional woman) took to the highway in search of America, the meaning of things or maybe just a hamburger.

Yes, the film jumps up and down on a high wire over the chasm separating Pretension and Art. But that's also a form of courage.
10/08/04
A road movie, but made by someone who seems so self-absorbed he might as well be asleep at the wheel.
