Leave your thoughts about Waydowntown.
| Planet Sick-BoyJon PopickThere's no denying that Burns is a filmmaker with a bright future ahead of him. |
| New York Daily NewsJack MathewsMaybe you have to have experienced one of these anti-weather urban cocoons to appreciate the concept of the film, and the prickly people who populate it. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe perfect film for those who like sick comedies that can be snide. |
| Des Moines RegisterJeffrey BrunerWaydowntown just like most large cities, isn't somewhere you'll want to spend the rest of your life, but it sure is a fun place to visit for a while. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrThe film will resonate with today's alienated workers, whose every brain cell and nerve ending hates the soul-crushing jobs they're told they should be grateful to have. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)Peter RainerHas a poignant undertone: We may feel we already know in our bones just how suffocating this culture is; but the people who made this movie seem to be discovering each fresh horror for the first time. It's like watching a virgin sacrifice. |
| Film Journal InternationalDaniel SteinhartThe setting turns out to be more interesting than any of the character dramas, which never reach satisfying conclusions. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittIt's a smart and creative comedy that skewers cheaply dehumanizing architecture and self-absorbed yuppie mentalities in a series of skillfully assembled scenes. See it in a theater that's waydowntown, and city life may never look the same. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Rick GroenWaydowntown may not be perfect, but it is perfectly astute in the target it selects and in the questions it raises. |
| The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsOccasionally resembling an episode of Seinfeld taken to the big screen, waydowntown shares that show's ability to mine mundane details for humor, and its Tomorrowland-gone-awry setting provides plenty of raw material. |
