Review – Buffalo '66

Meaningless, meandering script? Mindless preoccupation with alienated people in dysfunctional relationships? Grainy film stock? Brutal animal violence? Must be another GenX indy director bamboozling the critics into thinking he’s profound. Actor-writer-director Vincent Gallo actually includes a scene in which another character tells him what a large penis he has. You can’t get too much more self-indulgent than that, and most of the rest of the film is just about as bad. Why oh why do mainstream critics who really should know better keep falling for this kind of nonsense? Gallo has a reputation for attacking critics who talk bad about him, so maybe that has something to do with it. Wish I’d skipped it
