  1. Like all this adventurous filmmaker's work, it's truly one of a kind.

    Like the symmetrical word that supplies its title, the mordant comedy-drama recovers ground to become a boldly intriguing if not entirely satisfying subversion of American family values.
  3. On the evidence of Palindromes, the most misanthropic, depressing, hopeless film in memory, I'd hazard that for Solondz, childhood is a problem without a solution.

    Fiendishly bittersweet, Palindromes will have you both laughing at and feeling for the most sensitive of characters.
