The Beach Bum Reviews
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Matthew McConaughey gives his most Matthew McConaughey-ian performance to date as a washed-up stoner poet who keeps falling upward in Harmony Korine's deliriously fun comic goof-off The Beach Bum.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
"The Beach Bum" is a riches-to-rags-to-riches story as American as Horatio Alger, Thomas Pynchon, and Hunter S. Thompson.
Associated Press
Lindsey Bahr
There is a lot of fun to be had living in Moondog's world for 95 minutes, and the film goes down suspiciously easy for something so ugly and amoral.
Austin Chronicle
Dan Gentile
The film moves so fast that there's barely time to stop and smell the consequences. You can't help but hope that Moondog just keeps on l-i-v-i-n', man.
Polygon
Karen Han
Every actor is giving one of the best performances of their careers.
Chicago Reader
Noah Berlatsky
The Beach Bum shows, once again, at tedious length, that nonconformity has its own tired tropes and its own stifling conformity.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
The Beach Bum is a shaggy-dog story in the truest sense of the term, with Korine crafting it as a series of rambling episodes that echo the swirling, heady, digressive nature of a marathon bender.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
The Beach Bum would be more entertaining if it weren't the same scene over and over, with escalation in lieu of evolution. But that's Korine's strategy, for better or worse, possibly both.
New Yorker
Anthony Lane
What a pleasure it is to meet certain characters in the movies, and what a relief not to know them in real life.
TheWrap
Dave White
Korine leaves his protagonist to his own devices, and in turn this leaves The Beach Bum feeling like a eulogy for its own endless bacchanal.
NPR
Kyle Turner
An American Dream presented as perverted, and decaying, yet splashed in neon and soaked in sunshine, The Beach Bum's brilliant embrace of body, pleasure and art feels like Paradise.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
"The Beach Bum" is just out for Korine's idea of a good time. By the end, I could've used some shade, a cup of coffee and a round-trip ticket to Buffalo in February.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
The Beach Bum is barely a movie; it's more of a joyous squiggle adorned with a paper cocktail umbrella, a "What did I just see?" dollar-store trinket. But in these dark times, it's just the ticket.
Slant Magazine
Peter Goldberg
With the film, Harmony Korine solidifies his position as the premier cartographer of the Sunshine State as a place of unhurried pursuits.
USA Today
Brian Truitt
It isn't good and it isn't bad - it is, to borrow a fitting adjective, alright.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
There's something haunting, and quietly lacerating, about McConaughey's portrait of a man who has effectively anesthetized himself to pain, who has made the pleasure principle an all-consuming philosophy.
AV Club
A.A. Dowd
This may be Korine's most accessible and deceptively lighthearted movie. But it only looks like a goof.
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
It was fun while it lasted. Still, it might be time to start wondering if the McConaissance is finally over.
Rolling Stone
David Fear
If anyone was going to make the great ripping-bong-hits-while-Rome-burns movie of right now, it would be Korine.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
What "The Beach Bum" celebrates as transgression is pure tedium. What it takes for divine lunacy is frat house doggerel.
