  A sad and haunting portrait of a man with a broken heart and full of sorrow. It is almost silent and surprisingly tender, evoking a constant feeling of melancholy and solitude, like the songs that play along the film following the character's fragmented state of mind.

  Vincent Gallo is without a doubt one of the greatest living actors working today. He has also made fantastic debut as director with a Buffalo 66, which was original and very sweet little indie. With The Brown Bunny he reaches for even something more bolder as a director, but the end result is nearly disastrous on every level. Gallo manages to create some beautiful and poetic moments of a roadside America and captures time to time the heart of a good road-movie, but all in all this is just a pointless and hollow excercise in one man's grief. What should be tender and touching film is more closer to an whiny and annoying. I can see that Gallo is trying so very hard to say something from himself with this film, but it leaves a bit unfocused what it truly is. If it is supposed to be somekind of meditation of a grief then it moves from nowhere to nowhere. I admire the ambition behind this film but there is no escaping the fact that this is failed attempt.

  Vincent Gallo's self-indulgent experiment that succeeds on some levels and fails on others. Controversial because of the "real" sex scenes, <i>The Brown Bunny</i> has limited mainstream appeal and a growing cult following. The problem here is that Gallo has about 30 minutes of good material and about 90 minutes of screen time to fill. Characters take literally minutes to say two or three words. The end result is a film that's sometimes interesting and often excruciating.

  Vincent 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… More
  Vincent 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 come across as quite arrogant, and as for 'that scene', put it away you dirty old man!

  Boring and shocking.

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

  Self-indulgent vanity piece stars writer-director Vincent Gallo as a scruffy loner and motorcycle racer who leaves New Hampshire for Los Angeles for another race and one last attempt to reconcile with his former girlfriend. Tiresome road trips spins its wheels but goes nowhere.… More
  Self-indulgent vanity piece stars writer-director Vincent Gallo as a scruffy loner and motorcycle racer who leaves New Hampshire for Los Angeles for another race and one last attempt to reconcile with his former girlfriend. Tiresome road trips spins its wheels but goes nowhere. Notorious climax feels more like an excuse to expose the filmmaker rather than the character's soul.

  Vincent Gallo provides us with his view and mediation on crushing loneliness. Gallo does basically everything himself and so I applaud him for a rather pure and individual artistic vision. For many this will simply be 90 minutes of nothing happening but it perfectly captures the isolation of it's main character. The final segment is one of graphic tenderness. It is for the most part slow and unengaging, that possibly being the point, but since this is Gallo's film it really doesn't matter what I or anybody else thinks.

  [font=Century Gothic]In "The Brown Bunny", Bud Clay(Vincent Gallo) is a professional motorcycle racer who is driving cross-country to Los Angeles where he is looking forward to meeting up with his lady love, Daisy(Chloe Sevigny), who he has not seen in quite a long time.[/font] [font=Century Gothic]Written, directed, edited, and photographed by Vincent Gallo(but hopefully had nothing to do with the catering), "The Brown Bunny", is not a bad movie but not an especially good one, either. Technically, it is rather awful and it would have helped if Gallo had employed other people to help out. [/font] [font=Century Gothic]The first hour of the movie consists of Clay driving and driving and driving and driving...(I already know what an interstate highway looks like through a windshield, thank you, and it is almost never that interesting). He does briefly stop in his old Pennsylvania hometown and to chat up the occasional woman. The last third wraps everything up and gives the viewer a good idea as to what, if anything, Clay may have been thinking on his journey but the ending is also confusing, a cheat, unoriginal and demeaning.[/font]

  I 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 reason, I feel obligated to explain my admiration for it. With this piece, Gallo disregards every conventional approach possible, which a lot of people interpret as iconoclastic self-indulgence. I see it as appropriate within the context of this movie, and I think it's a tragically beautiful work in its own right. Functioning as a distant character study in which we know very little about the person being examined, The Brown Bunny asks us to give back a lot. I was willing to give it my complete attention, and I found it to be a haunting and uniquely profound experience. This is one of the saddest films I've seen in a while, and the conclusion will leave a resounding impact on most people. If you're interested in seeing it simply on the basis of the famous blowjob scene, don't bother watching it. This isn't what you're looking for.

  I am not really a fan of bordercrosser movies. Films that feel like a documentary, documentaries that feel like movies, children's movies that feel like music videos, music videos that feel like old movies, old movies that feel like new moves etc etc etc. In my opinion those things only appeal to people who are not aquainted with one of the two elements and therefore fascinated by the aspects, which is pretty much nothing but a mere testament to their limited horizon. The Brown Bunny included a "real" sex scene, so what , so does every porn movie, I do not see the speciality in it really.Pretentious crap. H.

  I don't think it is as bad as people say, but it's still a pretty bad movie.
