Leave your thoughts about Ghostbox Cowboy.
| Film ThreatLorry KiktaGhostbox Cowboy is a wonderful mishmash of mockumentary that lends comparisons to Ulrich Seidl’s work or Harmony Korine’s earlier films such as Julien Donkey Boy and Gummo, with the weirdness of Terry Gilliam and the idiosyncratic brutality of Werner Herzog, while also being a completely unique animal apart from these influences. |
| The PlaylistJoe BlessingFascinating, atmospheric, and utterly strange in ways both good and bad, Ghostbox Cowboy pulls back the curtain on those trying to export the American dream and reaping the whirlwind. |
| Screen InternationalDavid D'ArcyThis culture clash plays more with delightful nuances than with big surprises, but David Zellner brings plenty of American innocence to the role of a fortune-seeker brought to his knees; as they say in Texas, he’s all hat and no cattle. |
| The Hollywood ReporterHarry WindsorIt's certainly never boring, and Maringouin makes the madness feel queasily real. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayThe film’s as eclectic as it is eccentric, and it stays true to its own twisted sense of poetry, all the way to an epilogue that’s somehow even odder than anything that came before. |
| indieWireEric Kohn"Ghostbox Cowboy" truly defies categorization, and remains so unpredictable that no single viewing can resolve the fertile ideas it puts on the table about globalization, innovation, and the role of individuality in a fast-paced world that rejects it. |
| It's Just MoviesRon WilkinsonA scam flick that quickly breaks out into fantasy and morphs into a good-natured nightmare. |
| New York TimesGlenn KennyGhostbox Cowboy feels like a William Gibson adaptation directed by David Lynch and Jean-Luc Godard — while not directly lifting from or nodding to those artists. It’s rare that a release so late in the year is so noteworthy, but this is a genuine find. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreI was fascinated, but I can’t say I liked Ghostbox Cowboy as much as I enjoyed the films it seems inspired by. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyThis original if sometimes befuddling vision blurs the line between fiction and documentary elements, conventional storytelling and improvisational collage, all to oft-bracing effect. |
