Less Than Zero Ratings & Reviews
Newark Star-Ledger
Richard Freedman
The film "Less Than Zero" actually makes you care a bit about its three central characters.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Ed Lachman's cinematography is letter perfect as always in its handling of light and color (assisted here by Barbara Ling's flashy production design), but it's a pity to see it wasted on such claptrap.
Variety
Variety Staff
Perhaps this wasn't the best subject matter for British director Marek Kanievska (Another Country) to make his American debut. The feel for this distinctly Southern California story escapes him.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
Jami Gertz was, is, and ever shall be one of the most egregious actresses in the history of film. But Robert Downey Jr. and James Spader guarantee interest in whatever they're doing.
Moviehole
Caffeinated Clint
The anti-teen film that really kicks ass
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
Meant to be a statement against the amoral lifestyle of super-rich youth, it misses the mark by a mile.
Kalamazoo Gazette
James Sanford
Has style to spare, but none of the novel's shock value

Widgett Walls
A startling tale of alienation and self-destruction. Put Downey on the map, at least for a while.
Film Freak Central
Walter Chaw
The quality of dislocation in Marek Kanievska's Less Than Zero is startling and sinister.
Apollo Guide
Scott Weinberg
It may not be the most realistic portrayal of drug addiction ever produced, but it's certainly worth seeing - if for nothing else than Downey's superlative performance.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
A movie that knows cocaine inside out and paints a portrait of drug addiction that is all the more harrowing because it takes place in the Beverly Hills fast lane, in a world of wealth, sex, glamour and helpless self-destruction.
