Leave your thoughts about Revolution #9.
| DVDTalk.comGil JawetzThere is a strong directorial stamp on every frame of this stylish film that is able to visualize schizophrenia but is still confident enough to step back and look at the sick character with a sane eye. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumJust about everyone in this sharp, passionate feature is chillingly good. |
| The New York TimesDana StevensAn unadorned, unsparing chronicle of a young man's descent into a nightmare of delusion, paranoia and self-destructive behavior. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasRevolution #9, which is absorbing and terse, has some subtle, welcome comic relief from Spalding Gray. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonAppropriately cynical social commentary aside, #9 never quite ignites. |
