Funny Pages Ratings & Reviews
AV Club
Jordan Hoffman
Funny Pages understands that being truly committed to comics, the lowest form in all the arts (except for performance poetry, of course), is an express ticket to a life of social misery and alienation.
The Jewish Chronicle
Linda Marric
Zolghadri carries the film with the kind of self assured nonchalance rarely seen on screen. His character's wide-eyed optimism, although clearly misguided, is both infectious and genuinely awe-inspiring.
Chicago Reader
Becca James
... More authentic and more absurd than anything to come before it.
Rolling Stone
K. Austin Collins
Big fistfuls of awkward drama and discomfort define this movie. Kline relishes the pleasurable grossness, dwelling in comedic scenes that end well beyond their punchlines.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
Funny Pages still feels slight and only vaguely shaped. Well-observed details are great, but they'll only take you so far.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Christy Lemire
It is gross, but in a very tactile, visceral way... It feels very raw and alive.
TheWrap
Katie Walsh
Such a bracing example of a singular, and distinctive, new voice, that one can't help but love it, grody toenails and all.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
Funny Pages has a startlingly anti-inspirational attitude, while still being wrapped in the trappings of an inspirational movie.
Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)
Ty Burr
The writing and direction by Owen Kline is deadpan slack.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Alison Willmore
Funny Pages is a canny portrayal of a young man from a comfortable background going on a sojourn amid the outcasts, failures, and economically desperate, but you get a sense, by the end of the film, of Kline playing tourist himself.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
"Funny Pages"... sometimes feels like an exercise in misplaced artistry, a student's overly precocious stab at brutish cynicism.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"Funny Pages" would program well alongside "Crumb" or "American Splendor," spiritually connected films about difficult personalities that weren't afraid to get a little dirty themselves.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
The young director Owen Kline packs worlds of cringe into "Funny Pages" - shame, disgust, embarrassment, sweaty sexual panic, acres of pustules - it's all here in this terrific, tonally flawless feature debut.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
It's all deliberately grotesque, but comic readers will be pleasantly surprised at the degree of compassion for and comprehension of the culture Kline portrays.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
"Funny Pages" does many things right, many of those things mixing pain and misery with the humor of pain and the punchlines of misery.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Some will hate its odd essence, others - as I did - will enjoy the arrival of a brave new creative force.
IndieWire
Vikram Murthi
Ideas might be recycled in Funny Pages, but they're converted into something distinct.
Washington Post
Mark Jenkins
[A] lack of generosity toward the supporting players is one of the movie's major weaknesses. The other is that the episodic story leads to no significant discovery, either narrative or psychological.
Slant Magazine
Derek Smith
Funny Pages eschews the platitudes and carefully scripted character arcs that often cause coming-of-age tales to feel not only predictable but coated in a sheen of nostalgia.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
A smoothly professional, familiarly quirky, aesthetically conventional movie about the quest for freedom and originality.
