Care to elaborate on how this is insulting to both your cinephilia and to anyone who has ever felt lonely in life?

i like the 'existential road movie' spirit that this film has, but that's about as far as my respect for this movie goes. this is very boring and self-indulgent. chloe sevigny is phenomenal as usual though; that, to some, might make the movie worth watching. 1/5 stars.

It's been a couple of months now and my disgust still hasn't assuaged. What an insult to my cinephilia as well as to anyone who has ever felt truly lonely in life. Vincent Gallo: an inexcusable fraud.

I'm sorry that you feel you said enough because I don't agree, a Twitter-lengthed verse isn't sufficient if you want any credibility for such a strong and all-encompassing accusation, but then again I'm sure you'll retort that you don't care to have said credibility anyways...

Not taking no for an answer would imply that I persisted more than once in asking you to flesh out your original statement, which I have not done and will not attempt to do because you've demonstrated an inability and unwillingness to do so. Point is: don't treat the page as a place to air out dirty mental laundry with unbaked statements to "get off your virtual chest".

Steve has a point. There's no reason why you can't feel the way you do about Gallo or this film. But you're not providing any thoughtful or useful commentary on either by just saying they disgust you. You also leave nothing for people who want to read the comments to see if it's a film worth seeing. If it's not worth seeing, then give your reasons.

I just posted a review for Brown Bunny. It's the first film review I've ever posted on any site. If anyone thinks it's half decent, please let me know. I have always dreamed of being a film critic, but maybe that's all it will ever be. I would love to find some sort of work in film reviewing one day. Thanks.

A really, really amazing film. Definitely an improvement from Buffalo '66. He's managed to capture the natural beauty of nature and life without the idealistic superficials I so often see in films. I highly psychological drama with a powerful, raw, intimate ending.

Near perfect, I think this one is an improvement over Buffalo 66 where the family scenes and stuff in the diner rang a bit false for me... I only wish as others below have, that the film was longer.... and I'm not 100% sure on the 'twist' , normally I dislike such things, although it does use it very well leading up to a perfect final shot... I wish we had the Cannes cut to compare....

What an ending! Brilliantly passionate, ruthlessly raw, unbelievably misunderstood.

This film is great, i don't understand the bad critics towards it. I think that is a great portrait of loneliness and Vincent Gallo does an awesome acting job in this one. And like the user below Steve Cosier, I wish it had been longer.

Vincent Gallo is sensationalist egoistical jerk and Chloe Sevigny naive and stupid slut.

Your assessment of Brown Bunny is not only superficial, because you have said nothing about the film & only made petty insults, but the real tragedy is the hypocrisy that your review itself is sensationalist. The movie is mediocre at best; your review is childish & ignorant.

Although I dont agree with his review of the film, I couldn't agree more with ANTITHESIS on this one... some how you've managed to come off as more of a jerk than Vincent Gallo himself 87! Well done sir, well done. Personally, I honor the importance of opinions but not when they lack any form of evidential backing or structure.

well bohohoo mr. pseudointellectual Performer who believes that real BJ or any real sex is in the movie because directors artistic visions, like Chloe Sevigny IS naive slut. Unsimulated sex is never justified, every scene can be done simulated and person who calls herself actress does only simulated scenes performers of unsimulated scenes are basicly performing sex acts for money. Blowjob was in the movie only for publicity's sake and if you don't get that mr naive, tough shit.

some people say this film is boring, but for me i wish it had've been longer. i actually felt the road scenes were too short....it feels too neatly edited....i really wish Vinny had've released the original Cannes cut just for fans to see...i wonder if that original screening threw him off course slightly with his intended vision?

I love the movie, but can someone maybe interpret something for me. I only ask because it seems like it takes me out of the movie a bit..... Why does Bud go to Daisy's house and call out to her, if he already knows what has occurred?.....Sometimes I think he's actually imagining this scene,.... any interpretations about this?.....or is he just in self-denial and suffering a serious mental illness???

Pretentious wankery. Ugly visual style, nothing that engages any audience, no redeeming artistic qualities, this film is just an excuse for Vincent Gallo to film himself getting a mouthjob.

I think this would have served better as a book. The film just didn't do it for me because I couldn't get an insight as to Buds mindset. Just exterior emotion and a hell of a lot of driving around. I know what he felt but there wasn't enough detail. Still interesting though.

"I told her that I wanted to essay male sexuality and self-loathing, that I wanted to film it in a way that was very frank and unadorned, and how it serves as this examination of that instant of self-hate after a guy orgasms when the guy realizes that he's with the wrong girl."

His commentary on the Japanese DVD is hilarious. Apparently the flashback scene at the end was a real party held at Shannyn Sossamon's house with "real L.A. hipsters" and Gallo coerced a bunch of horny drunk guys into simulating rape secretly telling them that Chloë Sevigny was an easy lay and he even called an ambulance with everyone wondering what the fuck was going on LOL if nothing else the man is resourceful

Spent 3 hrs of watching the guy spent his day for what could've been done watching the whole story in 15 mins. Nice wrapped up though.

I once read a comment from a user on here who suggested that this film might be more closely identified with by those who have made long introspective road trips alone. I think that's a terrific observation.
