Leave your thoughts about Frownland.
| Total FilmKevin HarleyImagine a less upbeat Taxi Driver remixed mumblecore style. |
| SpoutBlogKarina LongworthA very nearly unbearably bleak ode to the white blind rage inspired by the mundane. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsNerve-rackingly funny, director Ronald Bronstein's microbudget indie features a protagonist for whom each attempt at communication turns into a rhapsody of strangulated verbiage. |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Annie WagnerFrownland is nothing like a conventional comedy. |
| Seattle TimesTom KeoghIt's impossible to watch this grotty, sometimes unbearably undisciplined yet genuinely tragic movie and not think about the first films directed by John Cassavetes and Paul Morrissey. |
| Gay City NewsSteve EricksonIf not for its dark sense of humor, "Frownland" would be unwatchably grim. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanFrownland, Ronald Bronstein's startling comedy, is like a mumblecore Eraserhead directed by John Cassavetes. |
| Empire MagazinePatrick PetersUncomfortable but awkwardly compelling, it's a film that mirrors the qualities of its central character - alienating and oddly appealing in equal measure. |
| New YorkerRichard BrodyThis amazingly accomplished first feature by Ronald Bronstein, made with a crew of four for seemingly little more than the cost of film stock, throbs with energy and vision. |
| New York TimesManohla DargisThis is personal cinema at its most uncompromising and fierce. |
