I saw the Cannes version and although it was slow, I did not hate it. Recently I purchased the film, being a complete narcissist just as Brown Bunny, Vincent Gallo is. And, I was absolutely floored by how he was able to polish this film into I saw the Cannes version and although it was slow, I did not hate it. Recently I purchased the film, being a complete narcissist just as Brown Bunny, Vincent Gallo is. And, I was absolutely floored by how he was able to polish this film into a gem. Although Chloe Sevigny's part is minimal, she could not have played her role better. The same goes from the young female who played Violet. This film does not have the dimensions that Gallo's other full-length, Buffalo '66 has and therefore I do not think Vincent Gallo was able to give the performance of a lifetime. This being said, he was believable throughout. As a struggling screenwriter, I know how hard it is to keep the viewers' attentions. Vincent Gallo kept me completely enticed throughout the entire film, where 95% of the scenes take place with one man driving crosscountry in a van. Few filmmakers would be able to mimmick this. For that alone, this film was great.… Expand

This movie took off slow, but shook me to my core by the time it was over. I couldn't stop thinking about for over a week. Vincent Gallo did not set out to direct Garden State! I'm sorry if your attention span didn't allow you This movie took off slow, but shook me to my core by the time it was over. I couldn't stop thinking about for over a week. Vincent Gallo did not set out to direct Garden State! I'm sorry if your attention span didn't allow you to sit thru this beautiful film. This film requires a little more thought than the average pop cum indie fair.… Expand

For those who didn't enjoy this film, may I suggest Dane Cooke's My Best Friend's Girl or perhaps Seann William Scott's Balls Out. Those films aren't contrived at all and I have a feeling they'll be more up your alley.

Neva Chonin of the San Francisco Chronicle has totally missed the point. This film is not about sexual obsession and guilt, it's about loneliness. We feel the pain a young man who has lost his lover (we later find out the details) and Neva Chonin of the San Francisco Chronicle has totally missed the point. This film is not about sexual obsession and guilt, it's about loneliness. We feel the pain a young man who has lost his lover (we later find out the details) and who makes lonely trips from one location to the next to race motorbikes. He interacts with several women along the way - not for sex but to reach out and regain the lost companionship. The final episode with his former sweet-heart explains everything. I enjoyed the film. It really brings home the loneliness a man can experience when traveling alone without love. The infamous felatio scene at the end of the movie was I believe faked. What man clamps a fist around the base of his penis and never lets go while his lover performs oral sex? Wouldn't most men surrender his organ completely to the woman's attention? I say only a man who is trying to hide the fact that he is wearing a fake penis would keep such a death grip. And his would not be the first faked penis in films. In "Irreversible," the man who commits the brutal rape in the tunnel turns over and his erect penis is visible temporarily. But in the DVD, the director shows how the scene was originally shot and how a penis was added digitally afterward. In Breillat's film about shooting a porn film, much ado is made over choosing the right fake penis to wear during the porn scenes.… Expand

This is the most beautiful, original and brilliant film I have ever seen. Those who disagree are entitled to their opinion. Those who strongly disagree are clearly not reacting to the film. Vincent Gallo is extremely talented in many ways.This is the most beautiful, original and brilliant film I have ever seen. Those who disagree are entitled to their opinion. Those who strongly disagree are clearly not reacting to the film. Vincent Gallo is extremely talented in many ways. He is also complex sensitive, poetic and very funny. The public responses to him vary greatly. He is completely misunderstood and those who misunderstand his intensions and humor will certainly misunderstand his masterful works of art.… Expand
