Southland Tales Movie Reviews
“Funny, audacious, messy and feverishly inspired look at America and its discontents.” The New York Times
“In its willful, self-involved eccentricity, Southland Tales is really something else. Kelly's movie may not be entirely coherent, but that's because there's so much it wants to say.” Village Voice
“This is not just another hodgepodge of a movie that's all noise and excess; writer/ director Richard Kelly has a point here; he has plenty to say.” Apollo Guide
