At GreenCine Daily, David Hudson rounds up the reviews of Stop-Loss, which are, surprisingly, pretty positive (Peter Keough and Bill Weber are the exceptions that prove the rule). My favorite pullquote comes, as usual, from Armond White’s mixed review: “Peirce conflates war tragedy with her own sense of melodrama, making Stop-Loss a coincidentally sexy polemic. It could be worse.”
Hey Karina, we’re hardly as entertaining as Armond White, of course… but I guess Matty and I at Filmspotting are all alone on that island with Keough and Weber. I’m genuinely shocked at the mostly positive reviews.
Hey Hoppers “Diasterpiece” won the Venice film festival in 1971. Americans just don’t seem to get it. Marfa is lucky to have Hopper actually talk about his experience.
