Beautiful story of doomed love.

Writer-director Hernandez is comfortable with violent, perverse emotions, and can find humor in them -- a refreshing quality that keeps one watching long after her movie has jumped its own tracks and zoomed to a private world of obscurely motivated quarrels and uninvolving reconciliations.

This amateurish no-budget effort has earnest charm, and a sensitivity to the tragic dimension of amour fou that saves it from lapsing into shtick.

The downside is that it all feels like a big in-joke, and you're not in on it.

A muddled film with John Waters aspirations.
By Anita Gates
FULL REVIEW 25
A lobotomized attempt to make a no-budget John Waters movie, Men Cry Bullets is a painful reminder of just how bad indie cinema can be - especially when it plays with gender roles. It's desperately unfunny and dreadfully acted, written and directed.

Strains to be shockingly original but winds up as cheap and cheesy as its characters.

The acting is more amateurish than Billy's diva act, and for all its ambitious editing, the film looks like something made in the Addams Family's attic.

The race is on for worst film of the year honors. Among the top contenders: Men Cry Bullets.

Overlong, naggingly pretentious, more absurd than absurdist and a cruel, cruel bore.
