American Mary Movie Review: | |
| Writer-directors Jen and Sylvia Soska don't seem to have their material completely under control, but they've created a worthy entry in the Freaks school of cult cinema. J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader This is truly a cut above. Geoff Pevere-Globe and Mail Writer-director siblings Jen and Sylvia Soska allow their film to turn slack and unfocused after an enticingly lurid, wickedly tense first half. Gary Goldstein-Los Angeles Times It's a truly interesting slasher fest; in this one, the heroine gets to be both beauty and beast. Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post Combines gore, quiet dread, feminist conviction and a visual classicism, often using a red palette, with impressive, unbelabored dexterity. Andy Webster-New York Times The acting is uniformly dreadful. The level of incompetence in both writing and direction is a scream. Rex Reed-New York Observer A mindless exercise in sadism that's neither scary nor a guilty pleasure. Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru Try as the sisters might, American Mary is neither scary or funny. Jonathan Forani-National Post Given its many failings, nothing short of an extreme makeover could save American Mary. Scalpel, please. Steve Davis-Austin Chronicle American Mary is the newest addition to a long list of horror films about disturbed and disturbing doctors,and it's a worthy one. Maitland McDonagh-Film Journal International Filmmakers display a burgeoning talent that should be exciting to watch develop in future endeavors, especially if they stick close to the beat of their black hearts, eschewing the temptation of screenwriting templates. Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com The filmmakers certainly exaggerate (i.e. exploit) their subject, but for a community that prides itself on shock value, there seems no sufficient alternative. Drew Hunt-Slant Magazine American Mary simply reveals itself as a film with little on its mind, content to scare rubberneckers into contemplating the backstory of the more outlandish body manipulation jobs they've seen in public. A documentary would have sufficed. Gabe Toro-The Playlist The Soska Sisters have directed a sharp, smartly acted and squirmy motion picture. William Bibbiani-CraveOnline If you believe in the artistry of horror - and its ability to be bold, provocative, and daring - then this is a movie that demands your immediate attention. Mike McGranaghan-Aisle Seat While the film has its problems, there is a lot to like here for die-hard horror fans and body mod enthusiasts. Stephen Lambrechts-Neon Maniacs American Mary is surely a psychotic look into the world of body modification, but flatlines all too quickly to engage audiences completely.
