Maybe this is my new favorite movie. Only time will tell. I haven't seen a movie this compassionate, fascinating, and so emotionally powerful in a long time, though. In watching it, I was reminded of a quote by Pauline Kael, who said Maybe this is my new favorite movie. Only time will tell. I haven't seen a movie this compassionate, fascinating, and so emotionally powerful in a long time, though. In watching it, I was reminded of a quote by Pauline Kael, who said she could tell immediately whether she and someone could potentially be friends based on the movies the person liked. If you don't like this movie, it doesn't mean something's wrong with you. It just means you and I could never be friends, because this movie was a piece of work, borne straight out of the heart, and most likely if you don't like it, it's because you can't personally identify with the events described. It's the most hopeful movie I've seen in years.… Expand

A strange movie, that mixes satire and moralistic drama. In it's satire it works quite well, similar in tone to Wet Hot American Summer. But it then also has the dramatic, emotional romance that it tries to mix into the rest of the film.A strange movie, that mixes satire and moralistic drama. In it's satire it works quite well, similar in tone to Wet Hot American Summer. But it then also has the dramatic, emotional romance that it tries to mix into the rest of the film. Sometimes the balance works great, but others it just spoils the tone. It's as if American Psycho and Pride and Prejudice were edited together. I feel like it compares a lot to the movie Saved, which came out a couple of years after Pumpkin. I feel works a lot better, it mixes comedy with romantic drama a lot more fluently in a similar elitist-school setting, and I just wish Pumpkin didn't have to be quite so heavy-handed in it's moralistic journey.… Expand

So good. Makes it even better that the people it's satirizing hate it. I was cracking up half the film.
