Leave your thoughts about Rubber.
| Village VoiceKarina LongworthAn essay on storytelling and spectatorship within When Inanimate Objects Attack schlock - one infused with the haunting aura and disillusionment of a post–"Easy Rider" road movie - Rubber is some kind of miracle. |
| OregonianShawn LevyRubber is engaging, brisk and smart enough that the audience wins, too. It's grand, mindless fun that makes a thoughtful point. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordKitschy is a good word to describe Rubber, a film that will garner love it or hate it responses from its audience. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongRubber will undoubtedly be the best film about a round, hollow serial killer released this year. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordWriter/cinematographer/editor/director Quentin Dupieux has joined together the hilariously stupid story of a tire who becomes a supernatural serial killer with a deconstruction of the movie itself |
| Film School RejectsRobert LevinThe picture thrills in large part because the filmmaker so gleefully indulges in the craziness of the conceit. |
| Mania.comRob VauxAn April Fool's prank so audacious and unrepentant that even its failures become a part of the bigger joke. |
| New York TimesManohla DargisWhile it can be seen as an environmental horror movie (if you must), Rubber doesn't dig down but instead merrily rolls on, as Mr. Dupieux plays with narrative and form. In one wonderful cinematic coup the tire spots a crow and shifts toward the bird so that it's framed in the tire hole, an angle that turns the tire into a camera. Point. Click. Explode. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeLook at it this way, it's the first movie ever to dare to pose the question, 'If a killer tire explodes your head and there's no one there to see it, has it really happened?' |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanWhether you choose to perceive it as a goof, a satire, or a little of both, Rubber is undeniably audacious. |
