Synopsis: In Gus Van Sant's GERRY, a film more concerned with atmosphere and visual breadth than with story or plot, a frivolous hike through the desert evolves into an existential journey for two young men.... [More]

Reviews for Gerry
Ragingly bad art that contributes to a definition of independent film as something no one would want to sit through.

Top CriticThe best way to approach Gerry -- perhaps the only way -- is to treat it as a sanctuary, a film to be visited the way you would a Buddhist temple or a piece of ambient music.

After a while, you may start to feel like Gerry One and Two: a little fuzzy in the brain.

Top CriticThe movie is so gloriously bloody-minded, so perverse in its obstinacy, that it rises to a kind of mad purity.

Top CriticZzzzzzzz. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Ulph. Umph. Ach. ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz.

Top CriticA rich, challenging mood piece that may not cohere thematically but takes us on a compelling, unique journey.

Deserves its own wing in The Old Curiosity Shop.

Top CriticIt's a filmmaker's Full Monty. Bold. Brave. Sort of embarrassing. You may wish he'd kept his proverbial pants on.

A picture that's both pretty and pretty vacuous.

It's definitely one of the strangest films ever made by a major U.S. director -- yet I liked it.

Top Critic...a marathon meditation on the puniness of man, humbled by the unblinking harshness of his surroundings. You get lost in the landscapes and can't find your way out.

Arty exercise that strands Matt Damon and Casey Affleck (both named Gerry) in a desert with little to say and do except lose themselves in an existential wasteland of doomed beauty.

Top CriticCan hit or miss, depending on whether or not you are engaged by its hypnotic visuals, and whether or not the feelings it evokes from you are interesting, memorable, or intense.

By turns daunting and absorbing, Gerry is about movement that seems hopeless, that takes you nowhere, that's increasingly slowed but also increasingly urgent.
02/21/03
An inexplicably compelling, far-outside-the-box excursion from director Gus Van Sant...and a welcome return to his roots as one of American cinema's more daring filmmakers.

This self-indulgent bilge is about -- absolutely nothing!

Top CriticI could say for the first forty-five minutes or so it was funny and interesting and I got what he was doing, but it just becomes tedious ...
