July 9, 2009Macauley Culkin doesn't do TOO bad a job in this true story of party boy Michael Alig, who killed his drug dealer and than bragged about it to his friends. Seth Green plays Alig's best pal and confidante and holds his own pretty well too. Not a great film by any stretch of the im...( read more)

January 24, 2008An ocean full of glitter, drugs and blood. It's like watching the gayest ballet on Earth... on crack. It's wicked, twisted, sick, messy, crappy, wonderful and groundbreaking. The performances are magnificent and even if it IS Macaulay's movie, Seth Green steals his thunder with c...( read more)

January 2, 2008weird, great to see Mac back, though at times it feel like he and Green are over doing it.

September 22, 2007Over pretencious and not as arty as it thinks. Seth Green does a good job with his performance which is the reason for it only star. But there's really no reason for the film's existance much less a reason to care about anything that goes on.

October 23, 2009Culkin is totally unconvincing as a popular glam bisexual club kid, and the story tries so hard to be campy and trash that it soon gets boring.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
We begin the film not knowing what brought Michael and James together. We end, after a too-long 98 minutes, precisely the same way. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Gracelessly executed, it throws out mock documentary, fantasy sequences and rapid montages, but still drags on woefully, and looks like it was soaked in dirty water. full review
September 19, 2003
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
It takes some doing to make a potentially epic cultural moment seem smaller than life, but Bailey and Barbato have pulled it off. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
This film feels fake, forced and indigestible. full review
September 5, 2003
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Alig is played by Macaulay Culkin, in his first movie since Richie Rich (1994), and it is a fearless performance as a person so shallow, narcissistic and amoral that eventually even his friends simply... full review
