Head On Ratings & Reviews
The Advocate
Jeremy Kinser
Dimitriades gives an impassioned performance, but the sleaze quickly grows monotonous.
New Times
David Ehrenstein
... the movie demonstrates just how hard coming out can be, especially for those more at war with themselves than with the culture around them.
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
Director Ana Kokkinos has an eye for local color but spends little time developing the supporting characters.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
In a way, the film is a kissing cousin to the 1960s kitchen sink dramas of the British cinema and the working-class angst of German director Rainer Werner Fassbinder.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Anyone of any generation who has ever felt at odds with his or her environment can identify with the characters in Head On.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Strains so desperately for a tragic kitchen-sink realism that in several crucial scenes the movie loses its grip and escalates into strident melodrama.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Kokkinos ... goes at it all with a relentless, take-no-prisoners panache and pace; this film moves.
Boxoffice Magazine
Tim Cogshell
There are some powerful moments in this rambling day-in-the-life odyssey.
Nitrate Online
Elias Savada
Head On crashes rights into your gay expectations and drags them down into the gutter. Powerful forces are at work here. You won't go home laughing. No way.
Reel.com
Rod Armstrong
Its frank portrayal of gay life is a refreshing foil to the watered-down examples of queer cinema we've seen of late.
Film.com
Gemma Files
One of this year's most sensual tragic spectacles -- a tour-de-force on a thousand different levels, with no easy happy endings in sight.
TheMovieReport.com
Michael Dequina
A film more easily admired than enjoyed, but there is much to admire in this bold, unsettling film.
Salon.com
Daniel Mangin
Its missteps and excesses aside, Head On is a promising feature film debut for Kokkinos.
Village Voice
Jessica Winter
The film's close is grim and ambivalent, a choice that would be commendable if the movie had not so stubbornly held the same dour tone for two hours already, and if Ari weren't as boring as he is bored.
Film Journal International
David Noh
Ari comes off as little more than a self-centered, bigoted layabout, contemptuous of anyone who works for a living and a trial to his family.
E! Online
Although Head On has a certain rude power, it's definitely not a date flick.
