"This review pertains to the almost famous untitled - the bootleg cut (director's edition) which is another example of studio executives taking advantage of loyal customers by coming out with yet another dvd version to su** the very last penny out of those same fans who made the film successful to begin with! i am so tired of this marketing strategy bs! one star! don't buy it! wait till the 'almost famous - expanded edition' or the 'almost famous - criterion edition' or the 'almost famous - platinum edition containing a commentary with cameron crowe's sister-in-law!'"
"Thank good for the swamp and the back ground because it helped alot to make this movie scarey...but other than that on my review meter the arrow is between fair/ok can't complain just watch wolf creek then you'll see venom isn't really bad..."
"Once again Dominique Swain graces herself in this strange film that revolves around snobby private school brats. The movie is neither heavy nor deep, rather just a dark story well executed by most of the cast. It is that rare film that starts at the end and slowly works its way back, and everything makes sense. I guess this film is shocking, to American standards, it touches on some subjects the typical teen films have never approached-it is definitely not for the sheltered. I enjoyed watching it and will undoubtedly watch it again. The version I have is the one released in Hong Kong, hopefully the American release will have better features. The film moves at a decent pace, never too slow nor too fast, and is overall entertaining."
"The film immediately bought me into a new and unique way to look at the profound and divisive effects of just one word. The film helped me to experience a set of painful feelings that I had previously not shared. The broad number of people saying the N word in such various context was a very creative way to help outsiders become insiders to the feelings caused by that word. Congratulations to the writer and director!"
