Teeth

"An imaginatively demented horror-comedy."

"Given how thoroughly all the subtext spells out the message... it seems unnecessary to make the actual text so raw, grotesque and graphic."

"Teeth is extremely funny, very clever and still packs some cover-your-face bloody thrills that top any Saw or Hostel movie."

"The one-note Teeth is just another trite rape-revenge fantasy."

"I’m not sure I’ve ever seen rape, incest or abuse dealt with so vapidly."

"Campy, shameless and sophisticated, Lichtenstein's debut is gutsy and original."

"Teeth hinges on one strong idea but doesn't know quite where to take it, wobbling awkwardly between going for laughs and making its semi-delineated points."

"Light-hearted, yet subversive..."

"Lichtenstein turns various images of emasculation into a black comedy that flirts, fairly tediously, with pornography."

"Darkly engaging if uneven..."

"The film's mix of cheap gags, macabre coming-of-age story, social satire and Cronenbergian body horror is apparently meant to gel into black comedy, but it never quite does."

"As much as you applaud its satiric nerve, once Teeth has demonstrated how far it will go, its joke becomes repetitive."

"A solid first effort that makes you extremely curious about the filmmaker's next project."

"A game, disarming lead performance from Jess Weixler... goes some way toward making palatable this mish-mash."
