Thai director Pen-ek Ratanaruang's splatter comedy 6ixtynin9 rejoices in a plot as tricky as its spelling.

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Fresh

Enlivens some dingy genre predicaments (dirty money, corpse disposal) with gusts of dreamlike whimsy and a sardonic take on local economic woes.

Dennis Lim, Village Voice

It is a lot of fun and allows us to track the growth of a special artist.

G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle

It's Ratanaruang's stylish direction that recommends the movie.
