Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Writer-director-composer Vincent Gallo and Christina Ricci star in this quirky and deliberately grimy little movie. Gallo plays Billy Brown, recently released from prison and unable to find so much as a decent bathroom in his cold hometown. Billy's parents are unaware that he's been locked up; in a pathetic attempt to impress them with how successful he's become, he hits on the novel plan of kidnapping young dance student Layla (Ricci) and forcing her to play the role of his wife. Billy's distant--to say the least--parents are played to the hilt by Anjelica Huston and Ben Gazzara, Huston in particular bringing a demented glee to her role as Billy's football-obsessed mother. As the movie unfolds, we learn more about Billy's tormented childhood and unfortunate tendency to bet on the Bills in the Super Bowl. Gallo boldly throws himself into the task of playing a complete sleazebag, and Ricci does lovely standout work as the one ray of hope in the grinding darkness of Billy's life. This odd little love story is just the thing to make you feel better about your own relationship--especially if you're not in one. --Ali Davis

I collect independent films. I'm always happy to find a classic like this one. A perfect example of the category 'independent'.

A pretty dark film

Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2022

It's a pretty dark movie. It's an accurate depiction of the 1990's. The acting from Christina Ricci, Ben Gazzara and Anjelica Huston was great. I want to say more but don't want to be a spoiler.

You will probably hate this film...

I love this film. Bily (Vincent Gallo) is one of the least sympathetic characters in cinema. He kidnaps Layla (Christina Ricci) and threatens her with violence, goes on endless tirades and plans vengeance for perceived wrong done to him.
What makes this film brilliant is its raw honesty and portrayal of human frailties.
Layla manages to show compassion (the real definition) for Billy despite everything he puts her through.
a few sureal moments include Christina Ricci dancing to Moonchild by King Crimson, and the opening of Heart of the Sunrise by Yes in a very intense segment.
great picture quality on this blu ray. only extra is a film trailer.

this is a brilliant, touching

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2017

Verified Purchase

From the introductory photo of "lonely boy," the abandonment of lying on the snowy bench, the anguish of a full bladder in a world where bathrooms are denied , through to his hesitant rejection of a hand held on a bed, this is a brilliant, touching, painful look at a damaged creature born beautiful. I agree with those who recognize Gallo's off-the-chart talent and the skills through which it shines. A++++ acting by all. Some negative reviews note that they found Ricci's behavior implausable. Of course, I would have behaved differently in the situation, but this film wasn't about me, it was about others whose behavior is different than mine. From Billy's first phone call to his mother, we start to get an understanding of his behavior; we get none of Layla's backstory, just as we have little understanding of the toxic parents. A really fabulous film. I'm looking for all of Gallo's films, music, everything, and hoping that brilliance continues to shine, and doesn't burn out. His energy is fascinating to watch.

Ciselé par un orfèvre, une oeuvre d'artiste et un très beau film

Reviewed in France on February 26, 2015

Verified Purchase

Je ne reprends pas le synopsis ici, il se trouve déjà sur la fiche article.

Vincent Gallo a fait naître cette oeuvre presque à lui tout seul, s'occupant bien sûr de la direction et jouant le rôle principal mais aussi composant la B.O. ! Un film d'artiste donc, aux mises en scène pleines de goût, avec par moment de véritables tableaux (le bowling, le père qui chante), des partis pris de réalisation qui se départissent d'un tournage classique mais qui sont l'heureuse marque de ce très beau film.

Chaque personnage est également frappant de vérité, le jeu de chacun est plein d'humanité et d'authenticité.

Non dénué d'humour non plus, quelques scènes viennent donner à l'ensemble une légèreté qui assoit encore ce sentiment d'authenticité.

En bref, un très beau film sur l'amour, les relations humaines d'une façon générale, la maturité et les chemins de vie.

PS : si la majorité des doublages peuvent passer, ici la VF pour ce film est tout simplement à proscrire. Le film en perd toute son authenticité et son atmosphère.
