After its scandalous screening at the 2004 Cannes film festival, Vincent Gallo's The Brown Bunny was cut from 118 to 92 minutes, and that made all the difference. The film that critic and long-...( read more

September 7, 2009Vincent Gallo's ego gets the better of him in this disappointing and self-indulgent follow up to the brilliant Buffalo 66. The direction is fine, as are most of the performances, I even liked the (albeit) predictable ending. I'm just not a huge Sevigny fan, both her and Gallo com...( read more)

January 20, 2009Vincent Gallo's self-indulgent experiment that succeeds on some levels and fails on others. Controversial because of the "real" sex scenes, The Brown Bunny has limited mainstream appeal and a growing cult following.

April 4, 2008Look Gallo lets face it there was one reason why you made the film. You were clearly having a problem getting laid and you called up Chloe Sevigny (Who deserves so much better by the way.) and you just filmed the rest of the film after the night after the motel. Once again mista...( read more)

January 31, 2008I've only seen the 118 minute version, and it was pretty terrible. Any respect I ever had for Chloe Sevigny was lost right here.

December 21, 2007Second cinematic offer from Vincent Gallo is completely different from his brilliant debut "Buffalo '66". Heavily inspired on aesthetic level by Pasolini's work, Bud Clay's trip through US can be viewed simply as a boring and pointless one or as a journey into damaged, tortured m...( read more)

November 19, 2009I realize that half the people who see my rating for this film are immediately going to assume that I am either pretentious or clueless. I also personally know specific people who, after watching this movie, would want to have my head for giving it such a high rating. For this re...( read more)

October 4, 2009Having only seen the edited version, which was cut from 118 minutes to 92 minutes, I dread to think what the original was like. This dull, lifeless road-movie is about a lonesome man who meets equally lonesome women along the way and has very explicit "relationships" with them. G...( read more)

September 9, 2009Gallo has done better than this if you look at Buffalo 66'. Much is very left open to interpretation, but the ending gives too much away. Literally. Everything else up to the point of actual fellatio still makes me wonder could it have been THAT necessary since everything wasn't ...( read more)

I don't know that I've ever encountered a filmmaker who wants to be loved so badly on his own wheedling, whiny, abrasive, motherless, misogynistic, and -- last but not least -- non-narrative terms. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
At 20 minutes, The Brown Bunny might be a lovely, '70s-flavored short. But at its current length, the film often feels as if someone set up a camera and then wandered off, forgetting about it. full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Less a story of undying love and passion than a singularly focused lovefest. And it's a self-lovefest, really, no matter who the flower girl is. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The Cannes version was a bad film, but now Gallo's editing has set free the good film inside. full review

A giant act of cinematic self-gratification. full review
