Jailbait Ratings & Reviews
New York Times
Laura Kern
A stagy, only mildly compelling prison drama that ends up feeling like purgatory to all involved.
Filmcritic.com
Don Willmott
a grueling acting exercise
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Bob Longino
Disturbing and affecting.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Claustrophobic and overwrought, Jailbait is an unpleasant excursion into gay panic mitigated somewhat by performances that are hard to shake.
PopMatters
Brian Holcomb
It's really not much fun watching the non drama of our hero Randy (Michael Pitt) staring at the walls and keeping the hands of the more brutish Jake from clawing up his skirt.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
I wouldn't have thought it was possible to make a prison picture as utterly boring as Jailbait.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
The cruelty of the law has been better demonstrated with news stories, and unless you're a Californian with two strikes against you, I don't know why you'd want to do this movie to yourself.
Monsters and Critics
Ron Wilkinson
Photography from inside a shoe box makes for a dull film no matter how close up and personal.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Jailbait argues that prison is an unpleasant place to spend time, but didn't Oz already destroy any remaining romantic notions about life behind bars years ago?
Greenwich Village Gazette
Eric Lurio
Unless you like listening to graphic descriptions of gay sex, then don't waste your money."
Austin Chronicle
Marrit Ingman
The stage origins are simply everywhere, but this debut feature is so fantastically acted that it inspires indulgence of its first-timers' mistakes.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
In the final analysis it all feels very much like a successful acting exercise that while psychologically acute, doesn't really bring much more to the table than what we've already gleaned from a few episodes of Oz.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
While the stars deliver highly committed performances, the static nature of the proceedings ultimately defeats them.
Village Voice
Jim Ridley
... the umpteenth prison drama to focus on the lurid threat of forced submission.
Film Journal International
Doris Toumarkine
Loaded with talent but not much else.
New York Theatre Wire
Brandon Judell
Not since Tom Arnold was employed as another horny criminal, one who tried awfully hard to sexually abuse Edward Furlong in 2000's "Animal Factory," has a penitentiary movie been so undone by a charisma-less performance.
