Reviews for I Stand Alone
Certainly, there are aesthetic pleasures in I Stand Alone, but they don't redeem the depraved heart that beats at the center of the film.

Noe deserves credit for a cinematic vision which is remarkably his own.

The real violence here, the far more deeply disturbing violence, is the violence inside the mind of the protagonist.

...I Stand Alone will not easily be forgotten - and in this day and age, that's an incredibly rare thing.

More of a young turk provocation than a measured and mature intercession on rage and despair, but it certainly achieves the unsettling effect Noe intended.

Surprisingly sensitive as well as genuinely shocking.
