Rubberneck has more in common with the growing Karpovsky oeuvre than it may appear -- and even inadvertently critiques it. Read full review

John DeFore

Feb 19, 2013

A character-driven take on true-crime fare, Alex Karpovsky's Rubberneck marks a solid dramatic turn for a filmmaker best known for playing comedic parts in indie films like "Tiny Furniture." Read full review

Ernest Hardy

Karpovsky is unsettlingly good as Paul, and Newman's Danielle is sexy and layered. Read full review

Keith Uhlich

A too-pat ending also spoils Rubberneck (shorter: Mommy made me do it!), though it doesn’t ruin the steely pleasures of the filmmaking. Read full review

Ian Buckwalter

Feb 22, 2013

The thriller elements of the plot — which Karpovsky delivers quite ably, with an electric tension that carries through much of the film — aren't really balanced by the personal revelations on which Karpovsky eventually hangs Paul's problems. Both the mystery and the character piece wind up feeling incomplete. Read full review

Rachel Saltz

Feb 21, 2013

It’s dragged down by non-scene after non-scene, and filmmaking choices that don’t earn their keep. Read full review
