Critic Reviews for Slaves of New York

All Critics (8) | Top Critics (1)

The first thing I feel is a genuine dislike for the people in this film... I dislike them because they are stupid and they have occupied my time with boring conversation. It is more than that. They are not simply stupid. They value stupidity.

Downright odd -- and not in a good way.
