Imagine Kevin Smith, the blasphemous bad boy of suburban Jersey, if he were stripped of most of his budget and all of his sense of humor. The result might look like Vulgar.
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten
An unclassifiably awful study in self- and audience-abuse.
Mark Holcomb, Village Voice
Rotten
It's hard to imagine any recent film, independent or otherwise, that makes as much of a mess as this one.
Gene Seymour, Newsday

For those willing to risk being made very uncomfortable, this instant cult classic announces the arrival of a distinctive new talent behind the camera.
