( Showing 1-9 of 9 Tomatometer Reviews, sorted z-a )   "Chilling in its objective portrait of dreary, lost twenty-first century America." -- Donald J. Levit, REELTALK MOVIE REVIEWS   "Likely to expertly drum up repressed teenage memories in any viewer." -- Jeremy Heilman, MOVIEMARTYR.COM   "Koury frighteningly and honestly exposes one teenager's uncomfortable class resentment and, in turn, his self-inflicted retaliation." -- Ed Gonzalez, SLANT MAGAZINE --  "I saw the same kind of zombification happen to plenty of kids. It made my heart ache." -- Joshua Tanzer, OFFOFFOFF --  Click to read the article. -- FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL Soundtrack Books All Related Items   "Standing by Yourself is haunting...[It's] what punk rock music used to be, and what the video medium could use more of: spirit, perception, conviction." -- Jeremiah Kipp, FILMCRITIC.COM   "Shattering, devastating documentary on two maladjusted teens in a downward narcotized spiral. Extraordinary debut from Josh Koury." -- Phil Hall, FILM THREAT   "Expanded to 65 minutes for theatrical release, it still feels somewhat unfinished." -- Ken Fox, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE --  Click to read the article. -- Robert Firsching, AMAZING WORLD OF CULT MOVIES Cream of the Crop FRESH 100%   "Sad to say -- it accurately reflects the rage and alienation that fuels the self-destructiveness of many young people." -- V.A. Musetto, NEW YORK POST   "Highly irritating at first, Mr. Koury's passive technique eventually begins to yield some interesting results." -- Dave Kehr, NEW YORK TIMES   "The longer one watches this determinedly ragged portrait of blue-collar teenage desperation ... the more one gets absorbed in the utter unbridled nihilism of its 'characters.'" -- John Anderson, NEWSDAY
