Skirts stalker cliches and grown-up-kid-in-a-man's-body caricatures. Full Review |

Do you like the clammy as opposed to the scary? Do you like dread rather than drama, anguish and emotional coagulation rather than screamfests? Full Review |

Chuck & Buck might be the most perversely agreeable stalker picture ever made. Full Review |

|
|
That Chuck & Buck holds attention despite -- or partly due to -- its murky, troubling central conceit can be credited to execution that's stealthy and low-key throughout. Full Review |

Possibly the most daring and honest drama about sexuality I've ever seen. Full Review |

|
|
Genuinely unsettling. Full Review |

Of all the films to premiere at Sundance 2000, there is one movie that best represented what indie film is supposed to be. Full Review |

A genuinely scary movie. Full Review |

Chuck & Buck is a film which you can't quite get a fix on: it's a movie about child sex which is also as airy and sweetly likeable as anything you'll see this year. Full Review |

|
5/5 |
Thought-provoking jet-black comedy that may not be for all tastes, but is well-worth seeking out. Full Review |
||
|
|
This is a thoughtful, difficult film. See it if you are ready to be challenged. Full Review |

|
3.5/4 |
Here's an odd film: a heartfelt, sweet and funny little story about a coming of age better late than never, it's also the disturbing tale of a pathetic gay sociopath and the man he stalks. Full Review |

|
|
It's certain to make almost everyone in the audience squirm, either out of embarrassment for the characters or because the situation hits too close to home... Full Review |
||
|
3.5/5 |
It was often painfully difficult to watch. It was never predictable, though, which is saying something. Full Review |

4.5/5 |
One of the most fiercely original films about adults coping with their pasts. Full Review |

|
78/100 |
This is a troubling yet rewarding film that ultimately gives us a sense of hope by showing us resolution within the confines of normal behaviour. Full Review |

|
5/5 |
One of the year's best and most provocative films. Full Review |
