A Dadaist delight, Harmony Korine's Trash Humpers is a direct descendant of Jack Smith's Flaming Creatures, perhaps the first and only.

| Jul 12, 2013

Trash Humpers, far being an authentic expression of the American Id, is a nostalgic lament for an era in which Korine's films could be held up, rightly or wrongly, as transgressive. No longer.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 24, 2010

It is an exercise in experimental provocation and in pure insolence, while sometimes being horribly funny and fascinating, reviving the spirit of Tod Browning's Freaks and the ice-cold vision of Diane Arbus.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 18, 2010

It's a typical Korine move: gesture towards seriousness, and then undercut it in the name of puerility. Or is it post-political cynicism?

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 18, 2010

This is counter-cinema at its best. For every insipid, corporate-led blockbuster that comes hurtling out of Hollywood, something as gross, coarse and provocative as Trash Humpers must counteract, if just to remind us of the power of film.

Imagine if you salvaged a grubby VHS tape off the roadside only to discover it contained outtakes from an amateur Jackass knock-off.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 16, 2010

A often grim vaudeville parade of Nashville's oddballs and ne'er-do-wells.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 16, 2010

This interminable piece of crap copped a big prize at the 2009 Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival.

| Jun 3, 2010

The crass, fuzzy beauty of VHS' defiantly crisp-free recording technology gives haunting visual power to both the empty-parking-lot dreariness of day and the harsh, lamplit hum of night.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 13, 2010

The spirit of celluloid is dragging 3D CGI to the toilet and giving it a swirly.

| Original Score: B- | May 13, 2010

For the brave souls who make it to the end, there should at least be no question of the movie's sincerity.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | May 12, 2010

However crassly delivered, Mr. Korine's warning against over-consumption is unambiguous: these savages are our future, our "true seed." The only surprise is that he didn't include a shot of one of them violating this film.

It's about as enervating a way to waste 78 minutes as I've ever experienced.

| Original Score: 0/4 | May 7, 2010

Trash Humpers is Korine the performance artist pleading for attention. Look away.

| Original Score: D | May 6, 2010

It's no accident that Korine's visual style mimics that of a scratchy old VHS tape. There's a name for the genre he's now working in -- it's called glorified public-access 온라인카지노추천.

| Original Score: D | May 5, 2010

If this is what passes for contemporary art terrorism, we'll opt instead for something truly subversive -- like genuine art.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | May 5, 2010

It's ultimately less a celebration of impulse behavior than a celebration of the parodic impulse to record.
