Leave your thoughts about Another Day in Paradise.
| Sacramento BeeJoe BaltakeAnother Day in Paradise is one big pleasurable wallow in grunge noir as only Larry Clark could have concocted it. |
| Houston ChronicleJeff MillarA well-executed scene can be followed by another where Clark shows no sense of the tone of which he'd just been in such tight control. |
| Sight and SoundJohn WrathallRefreshingly, despite finding his original fame as a still photographer and for his meretricious Kids, Clark here seems more interested in performances than look or style. |
| Philadelphia City PaperCynthia FuchsIt's filtered through Clark's sometimes creepy sensibility; it's like he gets off on the kids' fears and violence. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. Karten[It] seems so realistic that it's almost cinema verite. |
| Movie MetropolisJohn J. PuccioOne more nasty, slimy little picture oozes out of the Hollywood fun factory. Starring James Woods at his nasty slimiest. |
| Salon.comCraig SeligmanAnother Day in Paradise doesn't have the necessary expansiveness or the depth of theme to qualify as a great movie or even a near-great movie, but in its trashy, pessimistic way, it's just about perfect. |
| Jam! MoviesLiz BraunAnother Day In Paradise is so generally overwrought that the willing suspension of disbelief is not really an option. On the other hand, you may find yourself caring about the characters. |
| Matinee MagazineJason ClarkIt had the richness of character and gripping narrative drive that director Larry Clark's first feature Kids did not have. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsMark R. LeeperThere is little variation in James Woods's screen persona, but he does it so well. |
