(1 - 43) of 43 OFCS Rating: 36% Rotten Page   1   7/10 "a dizzyingly convoluted exploration of sex, art, identity and reality"   Movie Gazette   Anton Bitel 3/5 "...feels like a featurette in a better movie’s DVD."   NutzWorld   Blake French 4/5 "Insane hilarity... the cast has plenty of fun chewing the scenery"   Filmcritic.com   Christopher Null 1.5/4 "Soderbergh should be ashamed of himself for trying to pass this off as entertainment."   Movie Boeuf   David N. Butterworth 2/4 "...Soderbergh has essentially gone full circle and made his artiest flick yet. Trouble is, it's just not terribly interesting."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 3/4 "Penetratingly draws us in to this passing snapshot of just a few of the many unsatisfying lives in Tinseltown."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 1.5/4 "An inscrutable experiment too fixated with its own self-reflexivity to ever be about anything in particular."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez B "Once I got used to the deliberately atrocious cinematography, I found the film playful, funny, sometimes even sweet."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 2/4 "If Soderbergh wanted to expose the business up close and personal with the sincere simplicity of a mere camera lens, then couldn't he have accomplished this feat without the sledgehammer direction of a labored and obvious spoof?"   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng F "Chaotic, self-indulgent and remarkably ugly to look at, it's...like a series of pretentiously awful student films strung together into one feature-length horror."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "The screenplay by Coleman Hough has an equal mix of humor and humanity as it circles around the busy lives of seven people searching for intimate relationships."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 2.5/4 "Even those who are used to art house films will likely be underwhelmed by the bareness of Full Frontal's menu."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 1.5/4 "a pretentious, shapeless, often boring jumble of a film that is pretending to be a spontaneous, improvised work of art made against the mainstream Hollywood machine."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 4/5 "Steven Soderbergh's digital video experiment is a clever and cutting, quick and dirty look at modern living and movie life."   Netflix   James Rocchi 3/4 "Fraught with character confusion, but ultimately worth the effort."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 4/10 "It's too self-aware of its own irony. It makes sure the audience knows this and tries to be cute about the whole thing at the expense of its own characters, inviting us to laugh at them."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 2/4 "It's as difficult to imagine someone who will find nothing to like in Full Frontal as it is to conceive of someone who can embrace everything it offers."   MovieMartyr.com   Jeremy Heilman 4/10 "Too conscious of its own self..."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 6/10 "I will recommend it to anyone wanting to see something different."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 4/10 "Somewhere under the layers of pretentiousness and in-jokes and cleverness and reflexivity and artsiness and talk, there is probably a film lurking. I didn't find it."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 3/10 "You get the impression that the cast/crew screening will generate more laughs and raves than one attended by regular folks who have to do their own hair and makeup every day."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 1.5/5 "While it does beat watching paint dry, at least watching paint dry gives you a sense of something having been accomplished."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 1.5/4 "Gives a bad name to 'art' 'movies' everywhere."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest 2/5 "Though some individual scenes crackle, overall the film feels unfocussed and flabby, like a series of acting improv exercises strung together."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh "A raw, emotional tapestry that may have benefited from the no-nonsense atmosphere Soderbergh provided, but I doubt that."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2/4 "Click to read review"   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 1/5 "As noble as such an experiment might seem, the result, turns out to be a self-indulgent mess of in-jokes and failed satire."   Daily-Reviews   Mike Pinsky 4/5 "It's a doodle movie, a sketchbook. I was held by the tinkering quality of it, though."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves 3.5/5 "I don't know precisely what to make of Steven Soderbergh's Full Frontal, though that didn't stop me from enjoying much of it."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg C "The cast feels adrift in a sea of improvisation, while the camera pretends an intimacy that is only fitfully rewarded with anything resembling sincerity."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker B "Situations can be revealing, and almost always intriguing, in the hands of this talented cast."   Eclipse Magazine   Sean O'Connell "The whole thing feels like a ruse, a tactic to cover up the fact that the picture is constructed around a core of flimsy -- or, worse yet, nonexistent -- ideas."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 4/10 "Even Steven Soderberg describes this as a sketch, an experiment, an exercise, so when one character sighs, "I want this day to be over," I found myself nodding in agreement."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 1/4 "So claustrophobically masturbatory that it becomes something only an avowed art film crowd can possibly embrace."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf 5/10 Read review   Modamag.com   Brian Orndorf D Read review   EricDSnider.com   Eric D.
