Reviews for Chuck & Buck
Top CriticDo you like the clammy as opposed to the scary? Do you like dread rather than drama, anguish and emotional coagulation rather than screamfests?
02/12/08
Top CriticChuck & Buck might be the most perversely agreeable stalker picture ever made.
02/12/08
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.
02/12/08
Top CriticPossibly the most daring and honest drama about sexuality I've ever seen.
02/12/08
Genuinely unsettling.
06/24/06
Of all the films to premiere at Sundance 2000, there is one movie that best represented what indie film is supposed to be.
12/06/05
All the people of Chuck & Buck feel very human.
07/21/05
Unlike any movie I've seen before.
04/09/05
A genuinely scary movie.
01/24/03
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.
12/02/02
Thought-provoking jet-black comedy that may not be for all tastes, but is well-worth seeking out.
10/30/02
This is a thoughtful, difficult film. See it if you are ready to be challenged.
10/21/02
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.
09/10/02
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...
06/15/02
It was often painfully difficult to watch. It was never predictable, though, which is saying something.
02/28/02
No review available.
02/04/02
One of the most fiercely original films about adults coping with their pasts.
12/10/01
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.
07/24/01
One of the year's best and most provocative films.
