Leave your thoughts about The Real Blonde.
| San Francisco ExaminerBarbara ShulgasserA smart, funny and endearing movie. It has enough cynicism to satisfy the part of DiCillo that would mock a blue-eyed superstar, yet enough genuine sentiment to make it possible for us to swallow the cynicism. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleA sharp, engaging look at what it's like to be hungry and not-so-young in New York. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA meandering movie that usually meanders in entertaining directions. |
| USA TodayMike Clark"It seems like everybody is getting stupider and stupider," a couple of different characters observe in The Real Blonde. Yet, as this quirky and funny new film shows, it's not a terminal condition. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsJames Sanfordstarts to seem more like an extended episode of 'The Real World,' as we're asked to care deeply about the woes, jealousies, inhibitions and fantasies of some fairly shallow people. |
| VarietyLisa NesselsonEnjoyable, if sometimes scattered, comic exploration of the quest for integrity and depth in a world wowed by artifice and superficiality. |
| The New York TimesElvis MitchellA lively, well-constructed film with a large and appealing cast. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA fine looking but extremely lightweight satire from Tom DiCillo... |
| 7M PicturesKevin CarrNot as good as other DiCillo movies, but decent. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovDiCillo has always had the laconic, funkified, vaguely surreal air of a Woody Allen on cough medicine (or a Jim Jarmusch on Jolt, for that matter), but The Real Blonde is just so much ado about nada. |
