Skirts stalker cliches and grown-up-kid-in-a-man's-body caricatures.

Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post

Do you like the clammy as opposed to the scary? Do you like dread rather than drama, anguish and emotional coagulation rather than screamfests?

Stephen Hunter, Washington Post

Chuck & Buck might be the most perversely agreeable stalker picture ever made.

David Edelstein, Slate

That Chuck & Buck holds attention despite -- or partly due to -- its murky, troubling central conceit can be credited to execution that's stealthy and low-key throughout.

Dennis Harvey, Variety

Possibly the most daring and honest drama about sexuality I've ever seen.

Lisa Alspector, Chicago Reader
