  1. An honorable and often enticing piece of personal filmmaking.

    Gets its teeth in you and shakes. Once it’s over, you find yourself replaying it on an endless loop in your head.

    It's actually quite interesting, albeit in a supremely self-conscious and artsy-fartsy way.

    The Brown Bunny is one long, self-indulgent bore topped off with a hard-core porn scene featuring Gallo and co-star Chloë Sevigny.

    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

    Truly a disappointing film. I really enjoyed Gallo's last one, Buffalo '66, so I would like to be able to say that the 10 minutes of exposition that we got at the end of the film justified making us sit through the first 80 minutes which consists mostly of Vincent Gallo driving around looking glum. For me, the "revelation" that we get at the end of this tiresome affair does nothing to make his characters interesting and it comes off felling like a cheap trick to get us to care about a character that he never bothered to develop. Still, he gets points for style: I do like his camera work. Expand

    This is one of the worst porno films I have ever seen. Period.

    This is officially the worst excuse for filmmaking I've ever experienced. It's almost unbearable to watch. On several different occasions I actually had to turn my head.. not because of the content, but because of how banal and pretentious the few lines of dialogue are. Expand
