| Blunt ReviewEmily BluntTalky film; but brilliant. Sean Penn is at his best. |
| Movie MetropolisJohn J. PuccioWhat may have worked on Broadway comes across on screen as pretentious and dull. ...neither funny nor revealing, just stuffy and longwinded. |
| Juicy CerebellumAlex SandellIt's amazing what you'll find if you're willing to look below the surface. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesRabe has streamlined the dialogue, sacrificing a lot of funny throwaway lines without lessening the script's burden on our patience. |
| Kalamazoo GazetteJames SanfordWhen the madness is all taking place in one room, as it does in the play, intensity is generated. When it's spread out across a variety of locations, the power of 'Hurlyburly' is quickly diluted... |
| Independent on SundayAntonia QuirkeAll the time, you hear the wooden clunk of a theatre which still thinks that Eugene O'Neill is a great writer of natural dialogue. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaThe trailer defines the term as 'tumultuous commotion, uproar,' and it could not more aptly describe this high-strung but virtually plotless film. |
| AboutFilm.comCarlo CavagnaThis black alleged comedy wouldn't be funny at all if it weren't for Kevin Spacey's droll wit and silly bleach do. Sean Penn's self-indulgent performance and the unfocused script make sitting through Hurlyburly a chore. |
| User Reviewmike hthis is a play, and one ryans best most intense roles shes pretty amazing she doesn't do this much, and the rest of the cast rocks too, its a powerful movie, not for everyone, its edgy. |
| User ReviewTodd PA movie about misogyny...NOT a misogynistic movie. |
