Movie Reviews
Reviews:
"THE BEACH BUM is a work of undeniable commitment and craft -- a gonzo picaresque, soaked with booze and filled with gyrating, jiggling flesh, that will play well to the not-negligible segment of the population where cannabis lovers and cinephiles overlap." - 03/09/2019 Hollywood Reporter
"In a world of material distraction, Moondog is admirably impervious to the trappings of wealth -- a point driven to spectacular extremes in the film’s outrageous coup de grace..." - 03/09/2019 Variety
3 stars out of 4 -- "McConaughey leans into his bongo-playing persona...[and] actually gives a pretty great performance here." - 03/10/2019 RogerEbert.com
4 stars out of 5 -- "In THE BEACH BUM, the writer-director turns his observational eye and provocateur verve to a Miami community of misfits, who chase bliss in sex, drugs and misadventures. The result is a film that is joyous, outrageous and slyly mournful." - 03/11/2019 The Guardian
"This may be Korine’s most accessible and deceptively lighthearted movie. But it only looks like a goof." -- Grade: B- - 03/27/2019 A.V. Club
"THE BEACH BUM seems to be about reacting to a moment of national/social/spiritual crisis by treating hedonism as a holy sacrament." - 03/27/2019 Rolling Stone
"[I]t casts McConaughey in a role seemingly tailor-made for his famous style and yet, like the actor himself, also upends those same expectations." - 03/26/2019 USA Today
