CRITICS OF "The United States of Leland"

ViewLondon

Hoge seems to take delight in the fact that the film's conclusion is so frustratingly vague, whereas in fact it's both annoying and disappointing.

July 05, 2005

Resource

Houston Chronicle

A sidetracking subplot about Madison's adulterous fling with a co-worker goes nowhere; it is one of several unsatisfying, tertiary plot strands.

April 15, 2004

Resource

Common Sense Media

Uneven drama that's too intense for kids.

December 29, 2010

San Francisco Chronicle

Besides being puffed up with its importance, it's also inert and totally implausible -- one of those movies where nobody behaves in a way that seems remotely human.

April 09, 2004

Resource

Cinema Crazed

A very good film about the utter senselessness of murder...

April 29, 2009

ColeSmithey.com

"The United States Of Leland" deftly points out dilemmas in current American ideology that frequently escalate into tragedy.

May 04, 2009

Shadows on the Wall

Powerful and provocative--if perhaps a bit subdued.

June 28, 2005

Draxblog Movie Reviews

Kevin Spacey, who produced the film, is wasted in completely unnecessary role.

June 29, 2005

Resource

Globe and Mail

It's neither an insightful nor well-made film.

April 09, 2004

Orlando Sentinel

An intriguing movie about how badly we really want to know the unknowable, what makes kids kill other kids.

April 16, 2004

Newark Star-Ledger

Isn't it sad that a boy like this could feel so lost that he had to kill someone? Well, maybe. But isn't it sadder that someone's dead?

April 09, 2004

Chicago Reader

[Hoge] spends an awful lot of time trying to get us to understand Leland and almost none trying to get us to understand his victim.
