Gummo Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
[A] brattily repellent, hell-bent-for-shock collection of vignettes about the perils of boredom in suburban America.
Seattle Times
Melanie McFarland
Instead, [Gummo is] a gaudy, reckless collage of perverse images that lack any value.
Chicago Tribune
Mark Caro
The point of all this nihilism and grotesqueness? You got me.
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
Korine's objective is so narrow and mean, and his viewpoint so colored by smug, adolescent condescension, that Gummo comes off like a mean-spirited prank.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Like a kid acting up for attention, the wise-ass Korine wants desperately to be in your face - to offend and provoke. And he does a damn good job getting his way. If for no other reason, "Gummo" deserves to be seen.
Los Angeles Times
John Anderson
Is the perspective of youth in this country really so devoid of significance, and their existence so septic? These are good questions, although "Gummo" provides neither answer nor solution, nor even thematic cohesion.
AV Club
Keith Phipps
Take away the shock value, and there isn't much there: just a stylistically promising student film peddling bargain-basement surreal nihilism that, stretched over 90 minutes, grows awfully tedious.
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
Virtually plotless, the movie does its best to be offensive, but not in the service of any particular theme.
Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
A close-up portrait of disaffected youth in Middle America, Gummo is one of the most repellent cinematic efforts in recent memory.
Variety
Emanuel Levy
Enfant terrible Harmony Korine makes a bizarre, idiosyncratic directing debut with his uncompromising look at youth alientaion in Middle-America, whose downbeat tone and off-putting imagery should appeal to small minority of viewers.
CNN.com
Paul Tatara
C'mon, Harmony. Mano a boyo. What are you really trying to prove here?
New York Times
Janet Maslin
No conceivable competition [this year] will match the sourness, cynicism and pretension of Korine's debut feature.
Austin Chronicle
Russell Smith
Give me a f---ing break, man.
Chicago Reader
Lisa Alspector
Perhaps Gummo was dismissed by many people because it obsessively investigates the gray area between being an object and being an actor in which filmed people necessarily exist.
Film School Rejects
Nathan Adams
Gummo is a towering achievement largely because it is that metaphorical snuff film.
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
Different viewers might find different portions worthy of anything from zero to four stars, but anyone with a faint heart or weak stomach should stay miles away from it.
City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul
Rob Nelson
Gummo aims to be provocatively anti-everything: anti-Christian, anti-feline, non-narrative, unpolished, visually dyslexic, and imaginatively off-putting.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
Directors have been hailed as visionaries for less.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
A glue-sniffer's reverie and an aestheticized episode of Beavis & Butthead, explicitly and bracingly set up as an act of cinematic vandalism
TV Guide
Ken Fox
Harsh, funny, repellent and occasionally quite moving.
