Critic Reviews
-
Laura Kern, New York Times
In the writer and director Sang-il Lee’s Scrap Heaven, three strangers share a general dissatisfaction with life -- and a fateful ride aboard a hijacked bus.
-
V.A. Musetto, New York Post
[Director] Lee also helmed Hula Girls, a clichéd comedy that I hated (one star). With Scrap Heaven, he redeems himself.
-
Aaron Hillis, Village Voice
[Director] Lee's visual jazziness and cast are compelling, but nothing can compensate for a deflated, toilet-humored script that negates its potential for sharp social satire with increasingly adolescent and superficial vilifying philosophies.
-
Prairie Miller, WBAI Web Radio
The tense camerawork capturing the anxiety-ridden mood of the austere Tokyo cityscape is tightly textured, and truly deserved a more effective narrative.
-
Eric Monder, Film Journal International
Does not advance much beyond its expected generic elements.
