Teeth | Ratings & Reviews

"An imaginatively demented horror-comedy."

New York Daily NewsNew York Daily News

"Given how thoroughly all the subtext spells out the message... it seems unnecessary to make the actual text so raw, grotesque and graphic."

Chicago TribuneChicago Tribune

"Teeth is extremely funny, very clever and still packs some cover-your-face bloody thrills that top any Saw or Hostel movie."

San Francisco ChronicleSan Francisco Chronicle

"The one-note Teeth is just another trite rape-revenge fantasy."

Slant MagazineSlant Magazine

"I’m not sure I’ve ever seen rape, incest or abuse dealt with so vapidly."

Time OutTime Out

"Campy, shameless and sophisticated, Lichtenstein's debut is gutsy and original."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"Teeth hinges on one strong idea but doesn't know quite where to take it, wobbling awkwardly between going for laughs and making its semi-delineated points."

SalonSalon

"Light-hearted, yet subversive..."

Film ThreatFilm Threat

"Lichtenstein turns various images of emasculation into a black comedy that flirts, fairly tediously, with pornography."

Wall Street JournalWall Street Journal

"Darkly engaging if uneven..."

New York PostNew York Post

"The film's mix of cheap gags, macabre coming-of-age story, social satire and Cronenbergian body horror is apparently meant to gel into black comedy, but it never quite does."

TV GuideTV Guide

"As much as you applaud its satiric nerve, once Teeth has demonstrated how far it will go, its joke becomes repetitive."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"A solid first effort that makes you extremely curious about the filmmaker's next project."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"A game, disarming lead performance from Jess Weixler... goes some way toward making palatable this mish-mash."
