If this was even half as hip and smart as it thinks, it'd be a classic.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Rating: 4/5 --
A very quirky but not unkind take on American life that's Byrnian through and through.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rating: 2/5 --
good soundtrack, but smothered by a condescending attitude
Kalamazoo Gazette
Rating: 4/4 --
What makes True Stories so wildly different from the dream-visions of all the quirky and hip directors who followed its example is its vehement refusal to condescend to or mock the people on screen.

Absolutely amazing. If there is such a thing as the perfect American movie, this certainly comes close.
