Movie Reviews

Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Gary GoldsteinFeaturing a knockout performance by Adam Scott, The Vicious Kind upends the heavily tread dysfunctional family drama in ways that are unique, surprising and memorable.
Boxoffice Magazine - 8/10 by Pam GradyWhat lifts this trenchant dramedy out of the ordinary are Krieger's ear for dialogue and Adam Scott's breakthrough performance as a family's black sheep seemingly intent on earning that bad rap.
Metromix.com - 7/10 by Geoff BerkshireWhat initially seems like a [Neil] LaBute knockoff develops into its own rather interesting examination of men who mask pain with maliciousness.
Variety - 7/10 by Justin ChangBefore it bogs down in one too many moments of cathartic reckoning, The Vicious Kind is an unpredictable, off-kilter and scabrously funny piece of work.
The Hollywood Reporter - 7/10 by Frank ScheckReveals writer-director Lee Toland Krieger as a talent worth watching.
DVDTalk.com - 6/10 by Brian OrndorfVicious Kind doesn't have much in the way of new corners to offer the domestic disturbance genre, resulting in a film greatly dedicated to misery, but offers no tangible reason why anyone outside of the filmmaker should care.
New York Times - 6/10 by Manohla DargisThe characters spend far too much time working through their problems with drama-deadening directness.
Film Threat - 5/10 by Whitney BorupAt times, hard to stomach. Full of relatively good people doing horrible things to each other, the film never lets up, leaving me with a pessimistic and hopeless view of humanity.
User Review - 10/10 by Anna MThis was great. Probably the best movie I have seen in a long time.
User Review - 10/10 by Ross Bfantastic narrative on love loss and the strange limbo that succumbs a man while his brother brings a new girlfriend to thanksgiving. superbly acted and strangely familiar.
