Jerome, a kid from the suburbs who loves to draw, goes to New York City's Strathmore College for his freshman year as a drawing major. Competition and petty jealousy consume faculty and students, with an end-of-first-semester best-student award held out as a grand plum. Worse, a strangler is on the loose, killing people on or next to campus. The idealistic Jerome falls in love with Audrey, a student who models for life-drawing classes and who responds to his sweetness. But he has a rival: the clean-cut, manly Jonah, also a first-year drawing student, whose primitive work draws raves and Audrey's attention. As cynicism seems to corrode everything, Jerome is desperate to win.
Leave your thoughts about Art School Confidential.
| DallasBlack.comKam WilliamsAn ingenious satire of the pretentious mindset of the elitist art world from the perspective of a rapidly-disillusioned kid who had no idea what he was getting into. |
| eFilmCritic.comErik ChildressIts final shot is a beautiful masterstroke of the separation and desire involved in personally connecting with a piece of art and is the kind of frame-worthy moment that more students should be learning about. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John Beifuss...a sort of John Hughes revamp of Fritz Lang's 'Scarlet Street' (another film in which sexual desire leads a struggling painter down a path of death and stolen artistic identity). |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonTheir humor comes not from a need to be loved or a need to win awards, but rather straight from an acute awareness of the world's follies. |
| Orlando SentinelRoger MooreA movie with the odd, tired joke about art and artists, a college romance that isn't romantic, and a plot twist that doesn't twist at all. |
| Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA)John WirtThis sharply drawn satire gets so much about art school right. |
| Arizona Daily StarPhil Villarrealgrabs you by the backpack and sends you hurtling into a realm of false praise, vicious backbiting and pretentious gallery openings. A rich, bleedingly authentic cast of characters emerges. |
| Greenwich Village GazetteEric LurioI like Dan Clowes, but this wasn't one of his better comix, and the film isn't one of Zwigof's better either. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThere is a wise and understanding teacher on the faculty, played by Anjelica Huston. Defending the work of Dead White Males, she sensibly observes that when they did their best work "they weren't dead yet." |
| Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanBitterness can carry us only so far in a movie. Director Terry Zwigoff and writer Daniel Clowes, who adapted his own comic book, don't know what to do after they've impaled their targets. |
