Igby Goes Down got a reaction from me: I think it's the movie of the year. I squirmed, I laughed a lot.Full Review

David Edelstein
Slate

Gets weirder and meaner and darker and sadder as it progresses, which is amazing since it simultaneously remains funny and horrifying right up to the end.Full Review

Lisa Schwarzbaum
Entertainment Weekly

A dead-on sense of how rich kids live and talk today, a sense of the melancholy of a dysfunctional family, and some great dark laughs.Full Review

Stephen Hunter
Washington Post

Wickedly funny, jarringly transgressive, obdurately unpigeonholeable and startlingly moving.Full Review

Michael O'Sullivan
Washington Post

Across the board, the performances testify, often hilariously, to the pain these characters feel and inflict but are incapable of expressing.Full Review
