Review of Southland Tales (2007)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 08 Apr 2010

In its willful, self-involved eccentricity, Southland Tales is really something else…

Review of Southland Tales (2007)

By Wesley Morris (1,967) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 05 Feb 2010

Richard Kelly's Southland Tales isn't just a movie. It's an apocalyptic piñata that's been bazooka-ed open…

Review of Southland Tales (2007)

By Todd Mccarthy (1,810) for Variety (12,700) on 14 Jan 2010

Rarely has a picture been so self-consciously designed to be a culturally meaningful touchstone, and fallen so woefully short, as Southland Tales…

Review of Southland Tales (2007)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 27 Dec 2009

To be clear: The odds are in favor of you hating it…

Review of Southland Tales (2007)

By Rob Gonsalves (1,031) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 08 Nov 2009

The brilliance of Southland Tales is inextricable from its flaws, if indeed they are flaws…

Review of Southland Tales (2007)

By Fernando F. Croce (840) for CinePassion (694) on 24 Aug 2009

Has the galvanic pulse of a filmmaker trying things out, failing, and trying again…

Review of Southland Tales (2007)

By Brian Webster (658) for Apollo Guide (1,430) on 30 Dec 2008

This is not just another hodgepodge of a movie that's all noise and excess; writer/ director Richard Kelly has a point here; he has plenty to say…

Review of Southland Tales (2007)

By Marc Fennell (82) for ABC News (Australia) (10) on 30 Aug 2008

I'll give it this: Southland Tales is never boring…

Review of Southland Tales (2007)

By Sean Gandert (81) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 30 Jul 2008

Although it's by any reasonable means a flawed film, Southland Tales demands watching, if only for its cinematic achievements…

Review of Southland Tales (2007)

By Desson Thomson (1,673) for Washington Post (9,851) on 21 Mar 2008

May be ambitious in its genre-defying abandon, sideswiping science fiction, satire, film noir and melodrama along the way, but it's also exasperatingly…

Review of Southland Tales (2007)

By Tricia Olszewski (442) for Washington City Paper (500) on 06 Mar 2008

While Donnie Darko is a fine film regardless of your level of sobriety, Richard Kelly's sophomore effort most definitely is not…

Review of Southland Tales (2007)

By Anthony Quinn (478) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 07 Dec 2007

They've left it late, but writer-director Richard Kelly (Donnie Darko) and his team have gone and scooped The Independent's Worst Film of 2007…

Review of Southland Tales (2007)

By Xan Brooks (287) for Guardian (4,584) on 07 Dec 2007

Frustrating and finally rather pointless…

Review of Southland Tales (2007)

By Nigel Andrews (1,359) for Financial Times (1,822) on 07 Dec 2007

Whether this is a demented B-movie or a comment on demented B-movies is hard to say. It is horribly fascinating, if not for the full 150 minutes…

Review of Southland Tales (2007)

By Saxon Bullock (36) for Film4 (1,522) on 07 Dec 2007

A hypnotic disaster that's truly fascinating - if only for all the wrong reasons…

Review of Southland Tales (2007)

By Paul Arendt (158) for BBC.com (1,500) on 07 Dec 2007

There's too much sizzle and not enough steak…

Review of Southland Tales (2007)

By Jamie Graham (285) for Total Film (3,532) on 07 Dec 2007

Southland Tales finally emerges as an admirably bold dud…

Review of Southland Tales (2007)

By Jonathan Crocker (102) for Time Out (7,510) on 07 Dec 2007

By the climax, his truly ambitious, truly flawed film finally disappears into the 'time-space rift' (or whatever) to achieve some sort of cosmic…

Review of Southland Tales (2007)

By Anton Bitel (1,340) for musicOMH.com (45) on 06 Dec 2007

No doubt some will dismiss it as an overlong, incoherent mess, but others (myself included) will emerge, bleary-eyed and brain-battered, just…

Review of Southland Tales (2007)

By Beverly Berning (44) for culturevulture.net (793) on 28 Nov 2007

Southland Tales really is a guy movie, right down to all the sci-fi, comic book and porn references…
