Critic Reviews

New Times (L.A.) Robert Wilonsky

That's all Full Frontal is: a brilliant gag at the expense of those who paid for it and those who pay to see it.

Claudia Puig

These characters are interesting for their flaws and wounds, but the movie doesn't delve deeply into the sources of their pain. See this movie for its humor and talented cast and you won't be disappointed. Read full review

Shawn Levy

Feels like a tonic for its makers, a means of clearing the palate after a series of rich meals. For viewers who appreciate risks, it should be just as refreshing.

Sean Axmaker

For an ostensibly personal film, this plodding portrait of the self-involved flailing for meaning in a mercenary world has little of Soderbergh's insight, empathy or generous personality. Read full review

Human events that intertwine and background love affairs in this film that does not convince at all. Credit to the merit for the experimentation but the film is perplexing because it leaves the unpleasant impression of a not succesful film characterized by excess of improvisation.
