      Bob Longino Atlanta Journal-Constitution Disturbing and affecting. Rated: B- Aug 31, 2006 Full Review Marrit Ingman Austin Chronicle The stage origins are simply everywhere, but this debut feature is so fantastically acted that it inspires indulgence of its first-timers' mistakes. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 26, 2006 Full Review Carrie Rickey Philadelphia Inquirer Claustrophobic and overwrought, Jailbait is an unpleasant excursion into gay panic mitigated somewhat by performances that are hard to shake. Rated: 2/4 Aug 18, 2006 Full Review Brian Holcomb PopMatters It's really not much fun watching the non drama of our hero Randy (Michael Pitt) staring at the walls and keeping the hands of the more brutish Jake from clawing up his skirt. Rated: 4/10 May 5, 2008 Full Review Doris Toumarkine Film Journal International Loaded with talent but not much else. Mar 1, 2007 Full Review Don Willmott Filmcritic.com a grueling acting exercise Rated: 3/5 Nov 20, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

      ahmed b Disturbing and affecting. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review ari v A good study of both hell being other people and it's ambiguities. Oh and btw, neither the description you see on this page, nor the trailer - correspond to the correct film. Only the poster. See IMDB for correct description and trailer. This is no comedy. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member this movie was cool but it was a little explicit definitely not for kids Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member A very gripping, thought provoking film, no easy feat since it mainly only has two actors in it and most of the movie takes place in one room! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Cheap, insulting, dangerous filmmaking. I'm happy few will ever come across this trash bin champion. Do better filmmakers. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Haunting performances, however the blocking was made horribly static by the claustrophobic set that crippled the actors' abilities. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
