Critic Reviews

  • Jeff Millar, Houston Chronicle

    A well-executed scene can be followed by another where Clark shows no sense of the tone of which he'd just been in such tight control.

  • Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

    Ho-hum.

  • Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune

    It's hard for Another Day in Paradise to bring anything new to the well-worn road traveled by thugs on the run. But director Larry Clark and an energetic cast keep things jumping in this morality tale about the down and dirty.

  • Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

    As contradictory as it is energetic, the film takes as many risks as its people do and as a result strikes a highly contemporary nerve.

  • Paul Tatara, CNN.com

    This is not a movie for everyone, and I'm not certain that I even want to recommend it with strong reservations.

    Not bad but not great. I found Vincent Kartheiser & Natasha Gregson Wagner really annoying but James Woods & Melanie Griffith make up for it. Hell of a punch at the end!

    Really sickening of darker group of a drug addicts and bit explicit sex scenes of young junkie couples that filmmaker Larry Clark made including "Bully". (Really disappointed with DVD didn't work with use English substitles properly because that still has shown at the… More

    Larry Clark's second film is more conventional than his controversial debut (Kids), but it's still intensely watchable and well-made. When walking us through the typical crime-drama routine, this film is interesting, but it is the character dynamics and the dark revelatory… More

    The one Larry Clark movie that it's a stretch to call it kiddie porn. Though it's nothing special at all, a generic story of a bunch of small time criminals with the leaders being mother and father figures to the younger members, it's still very watchable and at… More
