| Original Score: 3/4 | May 28, 2003

A fascinating, uneven first feature from the young writer-director Dylan Kidd.

Full Review | Jan 16, 2003

Scott's low-key portrayal makes Roger interesting.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 5, 2002

Roger is not a character we are really meant to like, but how much one likes this movie may ultimately depend on the extent to which you are able to remain in the same room with him.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 18, 2002

Roger Dodger is an impressive first-time effort by Dylan Kidd, the director and writer. But like the teen in the movie who is trying to lose his virginity, the film never quite scores.

Full Review | Original Score: C+ | Nov 15, 2002

Even at its grimmest, the movie hums along, thanks to the edgy, hand-held, on-the-fly cinematography and the snappy performances.

| Nov 9, 2002

An exciting debut from promising, and fairly disturbed, young director/screenwriter Dylan Kidd.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 8, 2002

You won't like Roger, but you will quickly recognize him. And that's a big part of why we go to the movies.

| Original Score: B | Nov 7, 2002

The terrific and bewilderingly underrated Campbell Scott gives a star performance that is nothing short of mesmerizing.

Nice piece of work.

Full Review | Nov 5, 2002

A sophisticated but intriguingly toxic comedy of manners.

Full Review | Nov 1, 2002

A refreshingly unsentimental education.

Full Review | Nov 1, 2002

A clever, exceptionally well-written film.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 1, 2002

A skillfully made but ultimately annoying drama.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 1, 2002

An unusually smartly written and performed American independent film.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 1, 2002

The film's murky, jerky visuals may put some viewers off, but Kidd is clearly a writer and director to watch, and Scott is an actor to admire.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 1, 2002

The film is not just a lot of one-liners but has a buried agenda, as the funny early dialogue slides down into confusion and sadness.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 1, 2002

A LaBute movie turned inside out.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Nov 1, 2002
