Rotten
Striking to look at, though often offensively opportunistic, this mainly comes across as a throwaway shocker with energy to spare. There's not much thought in evidence though.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes

Tomatometer
Fresh
A nihilistic comedy about a trio of alienated youngsters, pic is bold not only in its art design, but also in its narrative and tone, a mixture of satire and horror with heavy dosage of steamy sex and macabre violence.
Variety Staff, Variety
Fresh
Inspired by Godard's classic Band Apart, Araki's fifth feature is his most audacious and most technically accomplished film to date, reflecting the larger than usual budget and gained experience.
Emanuel Levy, Variety
Rotten
Sledgehammer direction, heavy irony and the easiest imaginable targets hardly show talent off to good advantage.
Janet Maslin, New York Times
Fresh
It's a savagely funny ride fueled by Araki's insight and blunt compassion.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
