The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Matthew Bright's unique retelling of the Brothers Grimm's Hansel and Gretel is a twisted, violent, shocking and entertaining film which takes the 'road movie' concept and injects it with class-A hallucinogenics. The result is a lurid nightmare tale of prostitutes, serial killers, cannibalism and paedophilia.Natasha Lyonne shows she is capable of far more than just teen comedies by starring as White Girl, a bulimic teenager who poses as a whore in order to savagely attack and rob her 'tricks'. Sent to prison for 25 years, she befriends Cyclona (María Celedonio), a psychologically fragile murderous chronic-masturbator(!) and together they escape and head for Tijuana, Mexico, where Cyclona hopes they can find sanctuary with her childhood protector, Sister Gomez (Vincent Gallo).This freakish fairy tale is certainly not for mainstream audiences, but those who dig more unusual fare should certainly get a kick from the non-stop weirdness on display. With Bright's array of 'colourful' characters and a story that unfolds in an unpredictable fashion, the film certainly never bores.Much fun can be had spotting the parallels between this film and its source material, Hansel and Gretel. The film uses the theme of food prevalent in the Grimm's classic story, and features an interesting take on the 'trail of breadcrumbs' and a really nasty 'witch'.A heady concoction of exploitation, art-house, action and horror, Confessions of a Trickbaby is recommended to fans of cinema's wild side, and particularly to those who enjoyed Natural Born Killers, with which it shares a similar vibe.

to give you an idea of exactly how over the top this movie is heres some of the key elements present:bulimia/vomiting lesbianism amputees necrophilia serial murder transvestitism child abuse/torture cannibalism prostitution drugs (crack, huffing paint, drinking in the shower)if you like that sort of thing i can practically guarantee this will become one of your favorite movies ever. Natasha lyonne gives easily her best, funniest performance and any fan of her work should stop at nothing to seek this out (although its not easy). same for Vincent gallo. Matthew brite is a sick genius and this is the most perverse, depraved, funny and entertaining film in his catalog.

I watched in while I was with my friend in Indonesia, and he had bought the pirate DVD. I was anticipating a soft porn movie or a chick flick with the Hollywood code of political correctness. The ending was a real shocker, something that I could never imagine would appear so horrifically and comically in movies. But it had heart to it. The positive message for mature audiences in that: criminals are not born, and small girls are not commercial goods. Sublime example of a fearless production team. Watch it if you enjoy fairy tales, like "The Company of Wolfs' If you are a Tarantino fan,then you might really get the essential ideas and concepts within the bloody murders and perversions.

Every once in a while you get to watch something out of the blue that totally spins your head. I watched this with absolutely zero expectations, and came out a very happy person. It's best described as a comedy drama thriller, in the same kind of vein as Rodriguez and Tarantino, but much more off-kilter and quirky.The movie is blatantly designed to either shock you into thinking it's trash or get you cackling darkly away to yourself. It will either have you rooting for its characters or make you wonder what on earth you're watching. As far as this movie's content is concerned, there is a line you're not supposed to cross and to all involved that line is a dot way back on the horizon. It revels in excess and discomfort, far more than the previously mentioned directors, and as a result you'll either love it or hate it.Thing is, I love it. Yeah, it's violent, trashy and sick but the characters are some of the most convincingly 'real' people I've seen in a movie and the full bodied way they are written gives the movie a liveliness lacking from many far more mainstream and 'normal' films. The two main protagonists, a repeat young offender and a serial killer are in a stroke of genius both vivid, believable and easy to sympathise with, making the movie a joy to sit through, and giving most of the events much more weight than if they'd been handled by other film makers. Despite what people say, movies are made or broken by their script and characters, not who directed them or how many filming techniques got crammed in, and this movie has good scripting in spades.If you have a strong stomach and liberal sensibilities, it makes sense to watch this film, as you'll have a blast. If you find the idea of lesbian serial killers, group vomiting and transvestite Mexican witches a little too much for your poor brain, then this movie is probably to be avoided. I recommend this to my fellow loonies, the others may be safer watching Kill Bill again, but damn, they're missing out.
