Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times A seriously deranged dramedy about finding yourself through terrorism, Be My Oswald attempts high-wire artiness on a bargain-basement budget. Rated: 2/5 Nov 29, 2007 Full Review Ed Gonzalez Village Voice An appalling mix of bird-brained satire, sub-protozoan thesping, and (non-)direction. Nov 27, 2007 Full Review Nick Schager Slant Magazine A miniscule budget is probably at least somewhat to blame for Be My Oswald's dull sets, audio in which voices are drowned out by reverb, and digital video that frequently looks worse than my MiniDV-shot home movies. Rated: .5/4 Nov 27, 2007 Full Review Martin Tsai New York Sun “Be My Oswald” is a deadpan satire that unexpectedly unfolds like a chamber piece — think the Branagh-Pinter “Sleuth,” only with more fun and suspense. Apr 21, 2023 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International Writer-director Don Cato's handling of what might have been an intriguingly subversive black comedy can politely be described as Grade D student filmmaking.
