MCT:May 13, 2008It's mostly River Phoenix's crushing, emotionally resonant performance that makes this film work for me. Although Van Sant's experimentation could be construed as overwhelming, this is a truly original work peppered with haunting and lyrical moments. It doesn't always work, and there are arguably flaws in some of the stylistic choices made, but I found it to be a satisfying and riveting experience.

MCT:May 11, 2008An artistic achievement incomparable to very few other films. Funny, haunting, poignant and thought-provoking. Keanu Reeves and River Phoenix shine in Gus Van Sant's visually striking masterpiece.

The narcoleptic dreams of Mike Waters, a street boy who is obsessed with finding his lost mother has hunted me :) A brilliant road movie by Gus Van Sant.

Van Sant's "classic" is deserving of that reputation. This film's style shows you life in a way you've never seen it before, and it is exhilarating to watch and moving from start to finish. I thought the narcolepsy gag got a little too repetitive, and it is a little too intentionally drawn to the perverse, but still it's a crazy road trip that you'll never forget. Also, Pheonix and Reeves' best acting.

River Phoenix's Finest Role of His Entire Career And My Favorite Film. Gus Van Sant Has Crafted A Classic Film, I Loved Everything About This Film. Phoenix Delivers A Phenomenal Performance And Keanu Reeves Is Surprisingly Excellent. My Own Private Idaho Is Unlike Any Other Film I Have Ever Seen, I Cannot Fully Explain How Incredible This Film Really Is. Compelling, Mesmerizing, Spellbinding, And Captivating. This Is The Kind of Film That Should Be Remembered For Its Brilliance. My Own Private Idaho Is Such An Unforgettable And Entirely Entertaining Experience. I Highly Recommend It, It Shouldnt Be Missed. Gripping And Engaging From Beginning To End. An Incredible Achievement, Truly Brilliant FilmMaking. Excellent In Every Way Imaginable. Phoenix Has Been In Several Amazing Films And Has Given Several Amazing Performances, My Own Private Idaho Is My Favorite of His Films And My Favorite of All Time. A Phenomenal Film Featuring One of The Most Gifted Performers In Cinema. Brilliant.. I Love It...

yeah i want to see it really bad too. i went through a stage after watching stand by me for the fist time where i was completely OBSESSED with river. i'm not that obsessed anymore, but i still love him. i've heard that this movie has a lot of parts that...my parents would never ever ever let me watch haha. so i guess i'll have to wait till i'm older to see it. right now i'll have to be satisfied with running on empty and stand by me (great movie).
