Editorial Reviews "...Simultaneously giddy and disturbing....[A] rewarding demonstration of the aesthetics of willful incoherence." -- Rating: B+ Kenny
"...A stunning film with superlative production values....Stylishly yet personally expressive, THE DOOM GENERATION marks an innovative turning point in Araki's career..." Variety - Emanuel Levy (02/06/1995)
"...[Araki has] film's most authentic punk rock sensibility..." Film Comment - Gavin Smith (03/01/1995)
"...It has Araki's edge and energy, his terse mastery of the visual, his deadpan humor and despair, and his ability to inspire go-for-broke portrayals..." Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas (10/27/1995)
