"O, mio babbino caro" plays as a woman skates gracefully. In contrast, little is graceful and daddy is not dear in Julien's world. His father listens to blues wearing a gas mask; dad prods, lectures, and derides Julien as well as Julien's brother and pregnant sister, while grandma attends to her dog. Julien is different, schizophrenic. He wears gold teeth. He bowls, sings, worships, and chats with a group of young adults with disabilities. His sister's child is probably his own. He talks on the phone, imagining it's his mother, who died in childbirth years before. He may be a murderer of children. From his point of view (perhaps), the film follows this odd family for a few weeks.
Leave your thoughts about Julien Donkey-Boy.
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyThis movie could make you physically ill. |
| Film.comPeter BrunetteNot a film for everyone. And though I deeply admire it, it's not a film that even I want to see again in the immediate future. |
| San Francisco ExaminerWesley MorrisFeels like it could go blow up at any time. It implodes instead, and the meltdown, though visible in one of the final sequences, is still corrosive. |
| Chicago ReaderLisa AlspectorThe movie is truly an open text--its generous poetry inspires free association rather than predictable emotion. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumKorine remains unnecessarily smitten with sordidness, and there's plenty of it here. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullJulien Donkey-Boy, a nihilistic bit of crap that wants to be oh-so-cool but is really just a low-budget exploration of nothing. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt seems at first to be merely a jumble of discordant images ("Freaks" shot by the "Blair Witch" crew) but then, if you stay with it, the pattern emerges from the jumble. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittKorine confirms his reputation as one of today's most experimentally minded filmmakers, helped by an inventive cast including German director Herzog in a surprisingly strong performance as the father. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasJulien donkey-boy acquires a spiritual dimension that allows it ultimately to become an act of redemption. |
| L.A. WeeklyJohn PattersonLooks like no other recent release...certainly rich enough to warrant more than one viewing. |
