Movie Reviews

Q Network Film Desk - 10/10 by James Kendricka unique, poetic work of great intimacy and sadness
Filmcritic.com - 10/10 by Jake Eukera high-water mark in '90s independent film
Chicago Tribune - 10/10 by Dave KehrThe style is so eclectic that it may take some getting used to, but Van Sant, working from his own story for the first time, brings such lyrical focus to his characters and his poetry that almost everything works.
The New York Times - 10/10 by Vincent CanbyIt gets you below the emotional belt in a searing, delicate way. No movie this year approaches such magnificent imagery, such delectable poetry.
Slant Magazine - 10/10 by Rob HumanickMy Own Private Idaho might be the perfect cinematic time capsule for '90s aimlessness, universal in its details.
ColeSmithey.com - 9/10 by Cole Smithey"My Own Private Idaho" is both a love story and a tragedy. It remains the high point in Gus Van Sant's career.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 9/10 by Jay ScottMy Own Private Idaho achieves more than most movies dream of attempting. The Shakespearian allusions aside, Van Sant has essentially remade "Of Mice and Men" for the nineties, with Mike as the "mouse," Scott as the "man." It is the mouse who roars.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertThere is no mechanical plot that has to grind to a Hollywood conclusion, and no contrived test for the heroes to pass; this is a movie about two particular young men, and how they pass their lives.
Rolling Stone - 9/10 by Peter TraversBefore this trippy, mesmerizing movie swerves out of control, it delivers an exhilarating and challenging ride.
Washington Post - 9/10 by Hal HinsonVan Sant's sensibility is wholly original, wholly fresh. "My Own Private Idaho" adds a new ingredient: a kind of boho sweetness. I loved it.
