Critic Reviews for Junk

All Critics (4) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (4)

Although Kaveh and Raul never transcend their archetypes as heartbroken single guy and too-comfortable married man, and Hamedani and Isao aren't naturals in front of the camera, their rapport ultimately makes "Junk" a worthwhile lark.

Both Hamedani and Isao have a strong screen presence.

Though the result is uneven, it also feels genuine.

Kevin Hamedani shows that it takes heart, determination, passion, and loads of weed to make a proper B-Movie - exactly the kind of stuff that makes Junk so meaningful.
