  • Michael Dequina, TheMovieReport.com

    Watching this stridently 'offbeat' film, one cannot help but feel that the approach is completely wrongheaded.

    Keith Reddin's adaptation of his own stageplay about gun control is curiously muted. Still, there are tangible pleasures to be found, mainly in the film's delightfully off-kilter pairings.

  • Prairie Miller, WBAI Web Radio

    ..guns take center stage as catalysts if not characters in their own right, not to mention conduits of sensuality, intimidation, foreplay and destiny.

  • Shirley Sealy, Film Journal International

    It's the Rage is about guns and killing people and, essentially, it's a very funny movie.

  • Laurence C


    A bizarrely plotted but relevant portrait of different entities filled with rage and whose lives interconnect. It's The Rage is definitely worth seeing yet it might not suit everyone.
