"An acidly funny work (...) In his finest performance since 'Drugstore Cowboy,' Dillon plays Chinanski with funereal grandiosity" | ||||
"The result is a surprisingly satisfying film, true to Bukowski and itself" | ||||
"After a while, 'Factotum' surrenders to monotony and only the performances are likely to retain the viewer's interest." | ||||
"A grim and sometimes funny examination of life on the margins and of a singular artist's world" | ||||
"Matt Dillon is pitch-perfect as Bukowski's alter ego Hank Chinaski" | ||||
"Despite some fine black comedy, this hovers uncertainly between the novel's tragic precision and 'Barfly's' existential burlesque" | ||||
"Each scene stumbles onto a detail of inspired absurdity or a crunchy bite of dialogue that encapsulates Chinaski's weird flavor of self-destruction" |
