Critic Reviews of "Reality Bites"
Seattle TimesAugust 28, 2013Ryder and Hawke bring crucial authenticity to their roles with effortless appeal. You'll find yourself wanting more of these characters than the movie gives you.
Philadelphia InquirerMarch 27, 2013However conventional Reality Bites resolves to be, it is always engaging. Best of all, Ryder has her greatest role since Heathers, once again proving herself a seriously funny young actress.
Chicago TribuneMarch 27, 2013It's a good example of an anti-establishment comedy crippled by a seeming desire to infatuate the establishment itself. What Reality Bites needs most is a good bite. From reality.
Orlando SentinelMarch 27, 2013Among the movie's strengths are the performances, especially that of Ryder, who comes across as bright, beautiful and more delicate than ever before.
New YorkerMarch 27, 2013When the movie is over, you don't feel as if you had shared the experience of a new generation; you feel puzzled and vaguely crummy, as if you had just read a solemn news-magazine cover story about it.
Entertainment WeeklySeptember 07, 2011Yearning, hilarious, lost within their precocious self-awareness, these slackers have soul.
Suite101.comFebruary 25, 2014Gone is the fearless savagery Stiller smuggled into his TV series. Stuck between slacker and attacker, he settles for something curiously inert, slavishly mainstream and so hopelessly phony its own characters might make fun of it between bong rips.
Christian Science MonitorMarch 27, 2013The screenplay by newcomer Helen Childress falls back on familiar formulas too often, but first-time director Ben Stiller keeps the action fast and involving even when you can't help guessing what the next story twist will be.
Philadelphia Daily NewsMarch 27, 2013The smart script by 23-year-old newcomer Helen Childress doesn't lose sight of the characters and the issues that affect them and other young adults.
Baltimore SunMarch 27, 2013The best -- the brilliant -- bits of Reality Bites etch in epigram, anecdote and brittle, dazzling dialogue the inner life of young people who want desperately to believe but haven't decided in what.
Common Sense MediaJanuary 02, 2011Comedy about 20-something slackers isn't for kids.
