Events unfold after a devastating earthquake in Los Angeles.
Leave your thoughts about Kuso.
| Consequence of SoundDominick Suzanne-MayerKuso is a hallucinatory, scatological, grotesque, and occasionally hysterical work of utter mania, the kind of wild cinema that cuts through the noise of all safer, more marketable filmmaking. |
| The Film StageJohn FinkSick and twisted for the sake of being sick and twisted, Kuso is a certainly not a film for everyone, or perhaps anybody. I imagine the experience is like being high on something spiked with an agent that can induce awful nightmares. Though I’m not sure being drunk or high will make Kuso a delightful experience. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyThe referentiality of “Kuso,” its general snark, and even its defensive self-criticism (characters state “I hate this movie!” more than once) fail to make it any more funny or inspired, let alone any less of a shapeless chore to sit through. |
| The SkinnyJamie DunnEllison has clearly taken great delight in creating a freakshow designed to offend, but by its end, Kuso might even qualify as moving. |
| The VergeChris Plante“It’s the first movie / song / book about life in the Trump era” has become trite, so I’ll say this instead: the movie is often quite literally a load of shit. But that can be comfortingly frank when it feels like the world is on fire, but we’re all just going to smile anyway. |
| PitchforkKristen Yoonsoo KimMaybe Kuso becomes coherent on a second or third viewing, but few would (or should) attempt such torture. |
| RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsKuso may often feel unproductively loud, and monotonous, but it is a head-scratcher worth contending with. |
| Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeSensitive readers should be informed that Kuso is not for you; even those with a strong tolerance for monster-movie gore are far from guaranteed to accept its warm, clumpy bath of repugnant ickiness. |
| VODzilla.coAnton BitelEach episode is very different, but they are all unified by a thematic focus on graphic sex, arseholes (both kinds!), bugs, Cronenbergian metamorphoses, and elements of self-reflexive metacinema. |
| The Lonely Film CriticTomas TrussowIf this is the grossest film ever made, though, it's also quite dull. That's the barefaced truth of it. |
