The GuardianPeter Bradshaw
It really is very very long; watching it like going to an all-night movie show where the only film is Fight Club. Yet it’s tremendously directed and performed with brio. Read full review

NewsweekDavid Ansen
The most incendiary movie to come out of Hollywood in a long time. It's a mess, but one worth fighting about.

L.A. WeeklyManohla Dargis

Grueling and bleak, but not unintelligent...although it's hardly groundbreaking just because everyone's face gets pulpy. Read full review

This much-anticipated but terribly underwhelming black comedy represents a seriously squandered opportunity. Read full review
