Rating: 4/4 --
One of the most original cinematic talents at work in this country, Van Sant has a knack for pulling disparate elements together and twisting them into wildly funny lyrical odysseys of the mind and heart.

...IDAHO is something completely different, a film that manages to confound all expectations, even the ones it sets up itself...
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 4/5 --
American indie god Gus Van Sant's most iconic moment was this giddily rich revisionist road movie-cum-western.

Van Sant proves again that he is masterful at charting the hearts and minds of young people adrift.

South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Rating: 3/4 --
Although River Phoenix has distinguished himself as an actor ever since his second film, Stand By Me, nothing he has ever done before prepares you for his performance in Private Idaho as the motherless, homeless, loveless piece of human driftwood.

Philadelphia Inquirer
...Brilliantly impudent....Van Sant boldly floats us off on a sea of visions with no visible anchor....It's a fable about the leaps in perception by which a world grows up...
Film Comment
Product Description:
A narcoleptic, psychologically-scarred young man who peddles his body, and his best friend, who also works the streets though he's from a wealthy political family, wander together and apart, from Seattle to as far away as Italy. A loose reworking of Shakespeare's "Henry IV," with Reeves as the prodigal son who slums in the Pacific Northwest's junkie lowlife milieu.
