Critic Reviews

There is a wise and understanding teacher on the faculty, played by Anjelica Huston. Defending the work of Dead White Males, she sensibly observes that when they did their best work "they weren't dead yet."Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

This is as dark as Zwigoff has gotten - arguably even darker than "Bad Santa." And, while it's legitimate to label Art School Confidential as a "comedy," the movie is more clever than it is funny.Full Review

James Berardinelli
ReelViews

If a more elegant and succinct explanation of what compels some people to go to art school has ever been filmed, I haven't seen it.Full Review

Carina Chocano
Los Angeles Times

Enjoyable and reprises the same dyspeptic attitude that infused "Ghost World," but ultimately it lacks its predecessor's originality and humanity.Full Review

Washington Post

Zwigoff has a rich comic gallery of pretentious boobs to lampoon. But his satirical target just seems too easy this time around: It's hard to spoof institutions that already veer so close to self-parody.Full Review
