Johnny Suede has an astonishingly consistent tone and a remarkably talented and cohesive cast. [21 Aug 1992]
There's no denying the kick of Pitt's memorably offbeat performance and writer-director Tom DiCillo's stylish debut.
Johnny Suede's stylish, dreamlike mood and abstract dialogue cannot compensate for its unsatisfying storyline and characters.
None of it works, except for some moody cinematography, the on-screen charisma of lead actor Brad Pitt, moussed to the max as Johnny Suede, and the sheer likability of a few of his co-stars. [05 Feb 1993]
Johnny Suede is too devoid of content to sustain our interest. [19 Sep 1992]
The story is too self-conscious about its offbeat qualities, becoming so cool that it practically freezes on the screen.
