Drunkboat Ratings & Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Not even Malkovich could save such a leaky film, one that never stays afloat long enough to maintain an adequate focus on the family issues it raises.
Shockya.com
Brent Simon
A passion project ill suited to cinematic adaptation, or at least sludgy, unresolved, mannered and grating in its realized incarnation.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
... feels like an intimate, idiosyncratic acting workshop that might have worked better on stage.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Undercooked, lazy and frustratingly underwhelming despite solid performances.
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
"Drunkboat" might have come off via nothing more than acting ability and a good heart, if the dialogue didn't amount mostly to aimless chit-chat.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
The burnished smear of Lisa Rinzler's photography is a plus, but "Drunkboat" is ultimately the kind of pet project that never traverses from personal to powerful.
New York Times
Rachel Saltz
Though studied and grating at times, "Drunkboat" does sustain a distinct, odd tone. Like its characters it's dreamily restless and prey to its own quixotic ideas.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
This enigmatic coming-of-age movie often seems destined to sail off the deep end. Yet it rights itself just often enough to keep you watching.
Slant Magazine
John Semley
Drunkboat is a "small" movie that plays like a mawkish, Friedberg/Seltzer riff on a small movie.
RedEye
Matt Pais
Horribly written, shockingly amateur. Contrived and exhausting don't begin to summarize this inert disaster.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Chris Hewitt
In the end, "Drunkboat" is no "Glengarry Glen Ross" or "American Buffalo," and even if it were, the real Mamet has always worked better onstage than on film.
Boston Phoenix
Peter Keough
Held up from release for years, probably because nobody knew what to make of it, the film deserves a look, and Meyer is a talent worth watching.
Village Voice
Nick Schager
[An] incoherent drama.
