Gummo Ratings & 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.
The 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.
Slant Magazine
Jake Cole
Harrowing as its glimpses of economic and psychological ruin are, Gummo doesn't merely wallow in its characters' dire straits.
FandomWire
Joshua Ryan
The purpose of the film is seemingly to expose movie goers to an existence that they may otherwise pretend does not exist, while at the same time eliciting a reaction of discomfort. In that arena its a resounding success...
Spectrum Culture
Joel Copling
A tragic satire - blackly funny, often disturbing, unthinkably sad.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Chase Burns
There are moments of genuine spectacle, but the ongoing freakshow feels, like Kids, exploitative...

Matthew Rozsa
This makes it impossible to measure "Gummo" using the traditional quality metrics, and leaves us simply asking whether it works or does not. It works.
TheIndependentCritic.com
Richard Propes
A film of challenge that requires a viewer to go beyond passive viewing into very actively experiencing the film.
