Reviews for this film from our members:
- Marco Albanese @ Stanze di Cinema [Italian]
- Excerpt: L’accumulo finisce in qualche modo per soffocare il film, appesantito dalla regia di Daniels che sembra sempre voler dimostrare di saperci fare, esagerando con dissolvenze, inquadrature fuori asse e tutta une serie di arditezze inutili e di ellissi, che tolgono aria alla narrazione, di un tipico noir sudista, che pure aveva qualche evidente motivo di interesse.
- Jason Bailey @ The Atlantic
- Luke Bonanno @ DVDizzy.com
- Excerpt: The Paperboy is worse than it looks and probably as bad as any movie released last fall with Oscar ambitions. Very little of this style-heavy tale works as intended, with the film striking more as a campy farce than a simmering Southern drama.
- Christopher Bourne @ Twitch
- Tim Brayton @ Antagony & Ecstasy
- Excerpt: Too loony for words, and too magnetic to pass by.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: …from the depths of this murky swamp comes yet another truly inspired performance from singer Macy Gray
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: With the movie’s gaping holes in character arcs and important plot discoveries, it feels as if there is an entire reel missing from The Paperboy.
- [New – 4/4] | Dustin Freeley @ Movies About Gladiators.com
- Excerpt: Cultural norms, castigating the other, and a golden shower.
- Kimberly Gadette @ doddle
- Excerpt: Though the plot falls apart by the third act, the characters are so ripe that the movie is like a pile-up on the interstate: You know you shouldn’t look, but you can’t help it.
- Panagiotis Gkaris @ Movies Ltd
- Excerpt: The Paperboy is a terribly uneven film, wildly provocative and in love with its characterisation.
- Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
- Excerpt: Tacky and tawdry, it’s scummy, sexploitation sleaze.
- Donald Levit @ ReelTalk Movie Reviews
- Piers Marchant @ Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
- Simon Miraudo @ Quickflix
- Tiago Ramos @ Split Screen [Portuguese]
- Cole Smithey @ ColeSmithey.com
- Excerpt: Openly anti-Semitic, homophobic, misogynist, and racist, there’s something to offend nearly everyone in this wrongheaded ‘60s era sexploitation misadventure.
