I suppose the relationship is Oedipal or primal or something or other, but mostly it's just an excuse for Dolan to stage a series of gaudy shout-fests.
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

A story of the combative relationship between a mother and her son filled with delirious swells of effusive love and sudden plummets into madness and hate.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald

Dolan is able to weave dialogue, camerawork, a fluid yet urgent editing style, and a magpie's ear for pop music into a cinematic world that you can almost hold in your hand before it starts spilling over.

The movie's overlong, underpopulated and often devastating to watch. But it's told with an uncanny realism, and when it's over you feel shaken and a little sick - and realize that you can finally exhale.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Rotten
Mother and son gesticulate wildly but remain undefined; Dolan's blandly showy aesthetic matches the vainly hectic action.
Richard Brody, New Yorker
