Leave your thoughts about Assholes.
| Slant MagazineDiego SemereneIt begins as a clever pseudo-mumblecore provocation with shades of Bruce LaBruce only to quickly turn into indefensible nonsense. |
| 4:3Kai PerrignonTransgression this clear requires a willingness to be vile and gross and aching, a willingness to spew all one's most upsetting thoughts and feelings out into the world. |
| Daily DeadHeather WixsonI'm all for weird, gross-out, experimental comedy as much as the next person (for example, I fell head over heels for last year's The Greasy Strangler), but Assholes just pushed me to my absolute limits as a viewer. |
| Village VoiceRob StaegerWhat begins as revolting and off the rails peters out into a weak-sauce final payoff presented as an intervention-themed reality show, so tired and quaintly stupid it no longer offends. |
| IndiewireDavid EhrlichUnfolding like a microbudget cross between “Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom” and “The Squid and the Whale,” Peter Vack’s impressively disgusting Assholes is the kind of movie that you wish you could unsee, one you have to watch in your peripheral vision because straight-on viewing would be way too nauseating. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckDemented absurdist comedy that doesn’t just push the envelope in terms of offensive and disgusting content, it folds it neatly and uses it for toilet paper. Desperately striving for cult status that it will never achieve, Assholes could be described as forgettable. Except, sadly, it isn’t. |
| User ReviewJLuis_001It tries too hard to gross you out, to shock you just for the sake of it but it is as lame as it is pathetic. |
