Leave your thoughts about The Doom Generation.
| Entertainment WeeklySteve DalyGood luck searching for meaning — you’ll find mostly blood and epithets. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenMore than any other filmmaker making movies about the new “kids” generation, it seems to me that Araki -- with both Doom and Totally F***ked Up -- has his finger tuned most acutely to the human pulse and not just the lens shutter. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrA nihilistic comedy about a trio of alienated youngsters, pic is bold not only in its art design, but also in its narrative and tone, a mixture of satire and horror with heavy dosage of steamy sex and macabre violence. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversIt’s a savagely funny ride fueled by Araki’s insight and blunt compassion. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonDoom Generation is an 85-minute, darkly comic assault on the audience, laden with satirically over-the-top (and below-the-belt) violence, unending profanity and enough references to the posterior to fill a proctologic encyclopedia. Araki wants to serve up the sleaziest, crudest fare he can dream up. His efforts can only be described as successful. |

| Lessons of DarknessNick SchagerSelf-consciously strives for transgressive nihilism without ever recognizing the sheer absurdity of its every component. |
| San Francisco ExaminerBarry WaltersUltimately, The Doom Generation succeeds on its old-fashioned virtues - cinematography, acting, script, storytelling, individual vision. Plenty of films have dealt with teen isolation and many more will pile on the shocks, but few have a script this hilarious or a visual sensibility this developed. |
| Washington PostHal HinsonAn arty atrocity for thugs and sub-literates that makes Natural Born Killers look like The Sound of Music. |
| Jam! MoviesLiz BraunIt's young, it's hip, it's excruciating for anyone who has already survived adolescence. |
