3/5	Ben Falk	Kinetic, at times shocking, and -- as the title suggests -- constantly in your face, this is a film that may be narrow in scope but is awfully big in heart. Full Review \| Comment \| Jan., 01 2000 12:00 AM	Empire Magazine

	Desson Thomson	In a way, the film is a kissing cousin to the 1960s kitchen sink dramas of the British cinema and the working-class angst of German director Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Full Review \| Comment \| Feb., 24 2005 04:15 PM	Washington Post

B-		Although Head On has a certain rude power, it's definitely not a date flick. Full Review \| Comment \| Jan., 01 2000 12:00 AM	E! Online
2/5	Bruce Kirkland	It seems to parade its anger instead of explaining it or putting it in a dramatic context. It's a rant, not a drama. Full Review \| Comment \| Jan., 01 2000 12:00 AM	Jam! Movies
	Daniel Mangin	Its missteps and excesses aside, Head On is a promising feature film debut for Kokkinos. Full Review \| Comment \| Jan., 01 2000 12:00 AM	Salon.com
