The Paperboy is a nutty movie in terms of content, but it's also assembled in a demented fashion - there's a sense that literally anything could happen, and that its raunchy, heat-dazed story could wander down any path without regard to sense or an overall narrative. Full Review

It is by turns lurid, humid, florid, languid and stupid, but it is pretty much all id all the time. Full Review

This is a curio that demands to be seen. Full Review

There is such unflinching passion in the piece that The Paperboy deserves to be seen even though it can feel almost as flawed as its characters. Full Review

USA Today
Gator-filled swamps, an ultra-grungy murderer, racial undertones and a sexually charged atmosphere make up the tense and lurid world of The Paperboy. Full Review
