Critic Reviews

  • Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times

    This indulgently puerile waste of time plows ahead with pointless mayhem masquerading as 'art.'

  • Michael Esposito, Chicago Tribune

    It gives screenwriter-director Gregory Hatanaka an excuse for a lot of scene jumping -- and a chance to make the case for adopting a vegan diet.

  • V.A. Musetto, New York Post

  • Nathan Lee, New York Times

    Mad Cowgirl is an underground movie with little sense of grounding, and lots of a multicultural weirdness and inchoate meat metaphors.

  • Matt Singer, Village Voice

    It's safe to say there will not be another movie this year like Mad Cowgirl. Whether that's a good or bad thing depends on your tolerance for copious bloodletting, hardcore pornography, and C-SPAN.

    Experimental film with a good lead performance. It's weird, which is usually a good thing in my books, but it never really seems to go anywhere. Worth a look if you like this kind of thing, it's never boring.
