Fresh and Exciting

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Possible minimal spoilers.I attempted to watch this based on the 7.5 score it received here on IMDb. I can only guess that the majority of the high ratings are from friends and family of the cast and crew, because this film was so bad I didn't make it through thirty minutes before I shut it off. The direction is terrible; I felt like I was watching the film project of a film student who decided on a whim to become a filmmaker and then failed the class, deservedly. The odd overlays and cuts reek of amateur filmmaking. I didn't like anything about the film from the moment it started, aside from the odd clothing choice of Christina Ricci's character, who was in a dance class wearing what doesn't seem to me like clothing someone would be wearing in dance class, especially someone as busty as Christina. The film should've been over as soon as it started, because she had multiple chances when they first got into the car to just lock Gallo's character out and drive off. The car was already running and he got out of the car twice (I believe, maybe 3 times)before her in the parking lot. It's not like he even had a gun or gave her reason to believe he did. She simply could've locked the door, slid over and drove away. The worst he could've done was punch the car's glass. Then he gets out and goes across the street to void his bladder and she just sits and waits. I could understand if her character was mentally challenged, but what person of average intelligence wouldn't have driven off? Personally, I'd have run him down first. A ten year old child would have the sense to lock the doors and drive away, yet somehow Ricci's character didn't. There wasn't even anything likable about the characters. Gallow's character is so unlikable and unintelligent that I struggled to wait as long as I did to shut the film off. His parents have the personalities of stones. I realize that this is a black comedy, but the few areas I detected as being intended as funny simply were not. What little dialogue there is in the portion I sat through is terrible. I'm angry that I wasted a rental on this. This is only my opinion.

I often like that kind of movies that's been directed, written, and played by one person. Vincent Gallo did all these parts plus the score which was wonderful. Before I saw this, I didn't know anything about Vincent Gallo, nor seen any of his films, which got me into doubts to like it.Buffalo '66 is a well-done portrayal of Billy Brown who just has released from prison facing his past among his family & Scott Woods who caused him five years in jail. I find it pretty amazing how Buffalo '66 was in some aspects humorous, peculiar and melancholic. In a technical function, the cinematography was aesthetically splendid, not to mention the low-budget of it. Vincent Gallo did a super acting like Ricci, and the others.This is for sure a must see film, that nobody should miss, especially if you are an indie-films fan. I've given high rates recently, but this was the only one I pretty sure deserved more than five stars.

The story of Buffalo 66 is one of a man who is released from prison and the plot of the movie stems from the fact that he lied to his parents about this and created a fiction of his life where he has a wife and is a successful business man. The thing I appreciated the most about this movie was the effort behind it. This is a movie where you can tell that thought actually went into it, as well as passion. There is an endeavor to create something original and artful and for that I commend the writer/director/main actor, Vincent Gallo. Christina Ricci also gives a swell performance, even though she does not have a great deal of dialogue. Our main character is an angry loner, which is something that I took immense pleasure in watching because I could relate to him wholly. I enjoyed that when I watched this movie I never felt as if I was wasting my time, which is the worst feeling for me when I watch something that's not good. 7/10 because it was not extraordinary but it was good.

Vincent Gallo. It's amazing how notorious some people can get for practically nothing. Buffalo 66, Gallo's directorial debut isn't, however, a complete 'nothing,' for it definitely has its moments. Some of the stylistic elements are interesting, the strip-club scene in particular is very effective, and there are entertaining and memorable moments throughout. The music too is a particular highlight. But this film oozes 'indie.' In fact it reeks of it. Made with all the skill of a film school drop out, the camera-work is uneven, the story is lopsided, and the entire experience is a mixed bag. If you know anything about Gallo, this entire film is one big narcissistic self-blowjob (the bathroom scene about how 'big' he is? Come on!). But let's just forget about that. The biggest problem is Billy himself. It's hard to like him. Despite being called 'sweet/kind' so many times by his 'girlfriend,' he never does a SINGLE thing that is actually 'sweet/kind' throughout the film. He is crass, angry, and bullying to everyone he meets. So this film comes off more of a 'whoa is me. Feel sorry for me' story for a jerk. Not a good base for a story. That very story, too, is weak. The whole kidnapping premise (which is the whole story) makes little sense (there's no motivation for her to do what he wants or to continue on with him). That said, it is a nice treat to see Ricci, Huston and Roorke. And there are a lot of funny scenes here (some intentional, some not). This definitely will not appeal to a large audience, but for those who like 'cinema,' art, or the indie scene, you might get a kick out of this.
