Though bleak and at times brutal, Buffalo ’66 manages to evoke a world of sensitivity that’s, dare I say, rather feminine.

| Dec 5, 2023

The film communicates a level of anguish that is difficult to bear at times.

| Feb 16, 2021

There is a air of intriguing atavism about the textures and contours of Buffalo '66's visual style and tone.

| Apr 11, 2018

Gallo, who also wrote, directed and scored Buffalo '66 , is a smart young filmmaker, not least in his casting.

| Aug 30, 2016

Performances are outstanding, particularly those of Gallo and Ricci. It`s so refreshing and invigorating to see a film like this.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 30, 2016

For a study in untrammeled lunacy, the movie is a highly constructed and tightly controlled work.

| Aug 30, 2016

Gallo's combination of crudeness and sophistication has a preternatural power.

| Aug 30, 2016

The intimate, idiosyncratic and very funny Buffalo '66 --directed by and starring Vincent Gallo, from a semi-autobiographical script co-authored with Alison Bagnall --feels like a projection of Gallo's very psyche.

| Aug 30, 2016

Gallo's poor, poor pitiful me routine wears very thin, very fast, but Ricci is incandescent, a softly-glowing dumpling of a dream-girl in powder-blue fishnet tights and sparkly tap shoes.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 30, 2016

Vincent Gallo, gaunt and pop-eyed, with a gaze of sexy, hostile paranoia, has the look of a born sociopath or a born movie star (or both).

| Original Score: A | Sep 7, 2011

If Martin Scorsese, John Cassavetes, and Abel Ferrara took turns directing scenes of a film written by and starring Jerry Lewis, it might resemble Buffalo '66.

Actor Vincent Gallo makes a feature directing debut with this bizarre, self-indulgent tale of a troubled guy, played by him in a narcissistic mode, who has never reconciled his unhappy childhood.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 15, 2009

It may not be the masterpiece that its narcissistic writer-director-star Vincent Gallo has claimed to be, but his filmmaking debut is a ceaselessly fascinating piece of work.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 3, 2009

Pic receives an incalculable boost from Ricci.

Full Review | Dec 3, 2008

Gallo's directorial debut is one of a kind, an eccentric, provocative comedy which laces a poignant love story with both a sombre, washed-out naturalism and surreal musical vignettes.

| Jun 24, 2006

Gallo transforma um personagem antiptico e instvel em uma figura comovente, enquanto Ricci, em uma de suas atuaes mais sensuais, quase rouba o filme.

Funny and quirky, with a great performance by Ricci. Gallo quickly grows annoying, though.
