Review of Spanking the Monkey (1994) by Jonathan Rosenbaum for Chicago Reader — 08 Mar 1999
Despite a certain originality, the movie isn't really a success, not only because the plot bites off more than it can chew (the film doesn't conclude; it simply stops), but also because, like its hero, it has some trouble distinguishing between petty irritations and cataclysmic traumas.
