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

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

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).

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.

By turns raw, naturalistic and indebted to John Cassavetes.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 12, 2002

Alternately satirical and romantic, full of pain and humor, Buffalo '66 is a winner.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 1, 2000

Vincent Gallo's ego gets the better of his storytelling in his acting-directing-writing debut, but there are flashes of genuis that make it worth watching.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 1, 2000

Gallo packs the film with odd, endearing flourishes that detract a bit from the storyline but add to the overall whole.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 1, 2000

Vincent Gallo has proved himself a good actor in many films -- in Arizona Dream, The Funeral, and several Claire Denis movies. But the first feature in which he functions as director, cowriter, composer, and star is a pathological curiosity.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 1, 2000

Clearly, Gallo's film is a very personal one, and I sincerely hope that Buffalo '66 is not his only shot. For me, this is the film discovery of the season.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jan 1, 2000

Vincent Gallo's Buffalo '66 plays like a collision between a lot of half-baked visual ideas and a deep and urgent need. That makes it interesting.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 1, 2000

Cool, stark compositions and the occasional audacious visual trick give Buffalo '66 a memorable look even when its narrative enters the occasional uneventful stretch.

| Jan 1, 2000

Gallo is talented and energetic, with an ability to estheticize bleakness. But, succumbing to overindulgence, he shortchanges his film of the most interesting thing in it.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

Buffalo '66 has an authentic rotgut flavor, but here's the question for the future: Will Gallo learn to criticize his own ideas or continue to pride himself on screwing up?

| Jan 1, 2000

Buffalo '66 is an intriguing, peculiar, ultimately disappointing film loaded with flashy, stylish touches that prove more interesting than anything else.

| Original Score: A | Jun 26, 1998
