Leave your thoughts about Natural Born Killers.
| Montreal Film JournalKevin N. LaforestOliver Stone does an amazing job behind the camera, and the editing is totally delirious: it's one of the most visually dazzling films I've ever seen. |
| Blunt ReviewEmily BluntDon't miss this and it's brilliance on so many different levels; film making, acting, directing, editing, soundtrack and of course the whole twisted backbone of the thing -- Quentin Tarantino's script. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertLike all good satirists, he knows that too much realism will weaken his effect. He lets you know he's making a comedy. There's an over-the-top exuberance to the intricate crosscut editing and to the hyperactive camera. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanStone takes his characters right over the top, rubbing our noses in our own lust for excess, and some viewers are bound to say that he's gone too far. Yet this may be one case where too far is just far enough-where a gifted filmmaker has transformed his own attraction to violence into an art of depraved catharsis. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrNatural Born Killers never digs deep enough. Mr. Stone's vision is impassioned, alarming, visually inventive, characteristically overpowering. But it's no match for the awful truth. |
| Washington PostHal HinsonThe main problem with Killers...is that it degenerates into the very thing it criticizes. |
| Fantastica DailyChuck O'LearyAn incoherent, experimental acid trip so unbearably pretentious that it gave me newfound respect for the Warren Commission. A real torture test. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseProfane, hallucinogenic, and wickedly satirical, Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers mainlined a message from hell (a.k.a. modern America, as seen by Stone) into mall theatres and multiplexes. [Blu-Ray] |
| Film ThreatMichael DequinaLove it or hate it for its content, one must concede that it is nothing short of a technical marvel. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsTed PriggeNatural Born Killers is basically a flawed masterpiece, but at least gives its message across. |
