Los Angeles TimesRobert Abele
While the results were probably never designed to win over his detractors, Trash Humpers is almost a perverted love letter to fans of his brand of unstable, fringe-y terror. Read full review

MovielineMichelle Orange
Defiantly unwatchable if occasionally transfixing, the film is essentially the home movies of three marauding burnouts. Read full review

VarietyRob Nelson
Pity the festival-going fool who stumbles unawares into Harmony Korine's patently abrasive, deliberately cruddy-looking mock-documentary Trash Humpers. All others -- that is, those familiar with Korine's anti-bourgeois oeuvre and know what they're in for -- will have a glorious time. Read full review

Village VoiceJ. Hoberman
Trash Humpers projects a cranky resignation to the world as it is; still, it's picturesque. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyOwen Gleiberman
In Trash Humpers, the latest slovenly, haphazard, is-it-a-travesty-if-it's-bad-on-purpose avant doodle from director Harmony Korine, three figures in rubbery old-age makeup do indeed mimic intercourse with Dumpsters. Read full review

The A.V. ClubScott Tobias
With every project, he pops open the same trunkload of shtick and leaves everyone to argue over whether it’s art. It’s a win-win situation for Korine, who’s either a genius or a provocateur who’s succeeded in gaming his stuffy critics. Read full review

New York PostLou Lumenick
A mind-numbing piece of would-be provocation from the button-pushing Harmony Korine, Trash Humpers gets no stars from me -- not because it's offensive and disgusting like his earlier "Gummo" and "Julien Donkey-Boy," but because it's about as enervating a way to waste 78 minutes as I've ever experienced.
