2/5
A seriously deranged dramedy about finding yourself through terrorism, Be My Oswald attempts high-wire artiness on a bargain-basement budget. Go to Full Review Ed Gonzalez Village Voice 11/27/2007
An appalling mix of bird-brained satire, sub-protozoan thesping, and (non-)direction. Go to Full Review Nick Schager Slant Magazine 11/27/2007
.5/4
