Leave your thoughts about Where the Buffalo Roam.
| F5 (Wichita, KS)Jake EukerFinds no cinematic equivalent for Thompson's outrageous language; the material seems strangely meek. |
| Under the RadarAustin TrunickWhile [Bill] Murray is more than likable in his role, he isn't able to capture the larger-than-life figure he set out to inhabit. |
| AV ClubNathan RabinAs a time capsule and a failed attempt to sell Thompson's legacy to the masses, Buffalo has its share of curiosity value. But as a piece of filmmaking, it's pretty worthless. |
| Time OutJohn GillLaughs aplenty for people who use drugs as a pose, but most will be left wondering if half a pint of Bass doesn't qualify as a revolutionary action. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrThe movie is about manic energy, but you can feel everyone straining just to get the next shot on the screen. |
| User ReviewJames CI think that "Fear and Loathing" was all fun and good, but this gave more of a perspective of Hunter the writer, unlike "fear" that was more about him tripping out. They are both pretty cool but this one sticks with me more. This movie is in the background everytime I write an essay for school. Good inspiration. |
| User ReviewEden SOne hell of a good film!!! DR S Thompson is a legend and will always be remembered by us that follow him and live life to the full. |
