Full Plot Details

Seventeen year old Jason Slocumb, Jr. - Igby to most that know him - comes from east coast old money, the second son of self-absorbed and controlling Mimi Slocumb and medically-diagnosed schizophrenic Jason Slocum, Sr., the latter who has for several years been institutionalized in a Maryland psychiatric facility. While Igby's economics-studying Columbia-attending older brother Ollie Slocum has embraced and aspires to continue their wealthy life, Igby has rebelled against it, considering his brother a fascist (although he could soften that label to Republican). Because of Jason's situation, Mimi has largely left the role of male role model for Ollie and Igby to their godfather, D.H. Banes. Igby's rebellion has led to him being kicked out of one prep school after another, the latest, a military academy, from which Igby escapes before he can graduate. As such, Mimi and D.H. arrange for Igby to live in New York with Ollie for the summer while working for D.H. renovating some of his properties, before Mimi arranges for yet another strict school for the fall so that Igby can at least graduate. Igby is largely able to hide out for most of the summer with the help of Rachel, D.H.'s younger heroin addict mistress, and Sookie, a slightly older waitress with who he falls in love. An issue with Sookie and the aftermath of a joint mission with Ollie leads to Igby having a clearer picture of what his immediate future will look like.

Movie Reviews

Entertainment Weekly - 10/10 by Lisa SchwarzbaumGets weirder and meaner and darker and sadder as it progresses, which is amazing since it simultaneously remains funny and horrifying right up to the end.
Flick Filosopher - 10/10 by MaryAnn JohansonEven Culkin's intensely mordant performance here can't make this pointless and brutal film watchable.
Your Movies (cleveland.com) - 10/10 by John Urbancich... the dark, sarcastic tale no doubt will recall the profound likes of "Midnight Cowboy" and "The Graduate" ... That's not such bad company to keep for a boy named Igby and guy named Burr.
Slate - 10/10 by David EdelsteinIgby Goes Down got a reaction from me: I think it's the movie of the year. I squirmed, I laughed a lot.
Orlando Sentinel - 9/10 by Jay BoyarThe film makes a fatal mistake: It asks us to care about a young man whose only apparent virtue is that he is not quite as unpleasant as some of the people in his life.
Hollywood Reporter - 9/10 by Kirk HoneycuttAn original work filled with bracing wit and sharp observations about character, class and social milieu.
Fantastica Daily - 9/10 by Staci Layne WilsonThe dialogue sizzles with scalding wit, and you will have to look far and wide for a more morbidly fascinating opening sequence. It really hooks you.
Supercala.com - 9/10 by Paul SalfenBoth Steers and Culkin will surely be remembered for what is certain to be called a 'breakthrough' film for each of them.
Combustible Celluloid - 9/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonSteers turns in a snappy screenplay that curls at the edges; it's so clever you want to hate it. But he somehow pulls it off.
Washington Post - 9/10 by Michael O'SullivanWickedly funny, jarringly transgressive, obdurately unpigeonholeable and startlingly moving.
