What was missed amid all the Ecclesiastical accusations of vanity was Gallo's bold exploration of a damaged male psyche.

This film will not appeal to everyone for not everyone can maintain comfort through this much silence, this much emotion and this much stillness.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 4, 2020

I couldn't appreciate Gallo the director's Cassavetes-like taste for the realism... But Gallo films locations with a stranger's lucidity and an impressive commitment to natural sound and undoctored images.

Singular focus on failure, and a male rage so constrained, so constipated, you can't help but admire its concentration... Its powerful study of pathology is hardly cathartic. There's cumulative languor... sure to aggravate whatever following it finds.

| Original Score: 8/10 | May 21, 2018

You certainly don't want to spend 90 minutes watching Vincent Gallo drive, shower, brood, and weep, which is almost all this movie is.

| Aug 23, 2017

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

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 3, 2008

As a truncated work, it stands as a road movie tone poem.

| Original Score: C- | Jun 21, 2007

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 1, 2006

| Original Score: 5/5 | Dec 6, 2005

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

| Original Score: C | Sep 15, 2005

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

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 11, 2005

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 26, 2005

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

Full Review | Original Score: D | Jan 2, 2005

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.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 19, 2004

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.

| Original Score: F | Oct 31, 2004

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

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 19, 2004

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 19, 2004

a pretentious, silly bore of a would-be existential art film

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 19, 2004

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 19, 2004

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.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 15, 2004
