Kat Murphy, MSN Movies: POOR (cg) "...screams downer from the get-go.... a music video masquerading as movie, all whacked-out sound and fury, signifying nothing." (Read the full review...) 785 words, 12/06/11
Stephen Holden, New York Times: POOR "...wants to be a jolting exposé of the malaise of modern masculinity.... [but] turns into a ludicrous, cheap horror thriller that sheds any claims to integrity. By the end, you feel nothing, not even contempt." (Read the full review...) 506 words, 12/09/11 Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: POOR (cg) "If it weren't played so very straight, this jaw-dropping thriller might pass for an accurate satire of Hollywood self-indulgence. Instead, it serves as a prime example." (Read the full review...) 184 words, 12/09/11 Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times: POOR "A fanfare for the common jerk that taints every '80s-era alt-rock soundtrack tune it touches... assuredly marks itself as one of 2011's most ludicrous releases." (Read the full review...) 232 words, 12/09/11 Kyle Smith, New York Post: OUTSTANDING (cg) "...director Mark Pellington and writer Glenn Porter have a bold idea and pursue it with abandon ablaze.... The effect is wicked, disorienting and spellbindingly inappropriate -- somewhere between Sophocles and Sid Vicious." (Read the full review...) 246 words, 12/09/11 Aaron Hillis, Village Voice/LA Weekly: POOR "Insincere and superficially nihilistic... Why can't this lost weekend stay lost?" (Read the full review...) 182 words, 12/07/11
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: VERY GOOD (cg) "...this is not a movie about typical men. This is something else, a study of morbid group dynamics as well as a glimpse into the inner mechanisms of four of the most miserable human beings on the planet."

Aaron Hillis, Village Voice/LA Weekly: POOR "Insincere and superficially nihilistic... Why can't this lost weekend stay lost?" (Read the full review...) 182 words, 12/07/11 Noel Murray, AV Club: POOR (cg) "...a movie about self-absorbed douchebags that wallows in their douchebaggery." (Read the full review...) 417 words, 12/08/11 Michelle Orange, Movieline: WEAK (cg) "An industrial grade melodrama with more cuts than a pound of Bolivian marching powder... all of the film's lesser ambitions are undone by its most risible one -- to be serious, and thus be taken seriously." (Read the full review...) 713 words, 12/08/11 Nick Schager, Slant: POOR (cg) "...the only thing more narcissistically indulgent than the film's repugnant protagonists is Mark Pellington's iPod-scored, visually flashy, thoroughly hollow directorial celebration of them."

Robert Koehler, Daily Variety: POOR "A weekend romp for four middle-aged buddies devolves into a drug-fueled, suicidal hell in Mark Pellington's ill-conceived and executed 'I Melt With You,' a work of extreme self-indulgence that would benefit from the hand of a firm producer and editor..." (Read the full review...) 817 words, 01/29/11 Todd McCarthy, Hollywood Reporter: VERY GOOD "...a compelling and disturbing drama about some elemental male issues.... Director Mark Pellington and writer Glenn Porter have nothing if not the courage of their convictions..." (Read the full review...) 1,015 words, 01/28/11 Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times: POOR "A fanfare for the common jerk that taints every '80s-era alt-rock soundtrack tune it touches... assuredly marks itself as one of 2011's most ludicrous releases." (Read the full review...) 232 words, 12/09/11 Patrick Z. McGavin, Cinema 24/7: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "...an alternately provocative, disturbing and frustratingly opaque work about male vanity, narcissism and the crisis of masculinity.... a guilty pleasure that is easy to surrender to though difficult to embrace."
