Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 01/01/2000
3.5/4
It is a harrowing, exhausting, painful film, and a very good one -- a film that will not appeal to most filmgoers, but will be valued by anyone with a serious interest in schizophrenia or, for that matter, in film. Go to Full Review Pablo Villaça Cinema em Cena 04/15/2007

Consegue retratar os sintomas da esquizofrenia de maneira particularmente eficaz graas ao brilhantismo de seu design de som e atuao intensa de Greene. Go to Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault 04/09/2007

A definite must-see for the adventurous. Go to Full Review Jake Euker F5 (Wichita, KS) 02/07/2007
2.5/5
Kerrigan, in the film's denouement, might have succeeded in defying our expectations to the extent that, as in The Sixth Sense, his victory renders what came before it superfluous. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 06/02/2006
4.5/5
Kerrigan succeeds in challenging stereotypes of mental illness as seen in movies and TV: Clean, Shaven is a stark ripose to the Hollywood notion that the mentally ill are fonts of simple wisdom and goodness. Go to Full Review Scott Weinberg eFilmCritic.com 08/04/2002

Courtney K @c0urtn3y 05/21/2023 oof; perception is everything. in more ways than one. they got me - i was shocked by the ending. a well-done piece on mental illness & how both the sufferer & bystanders perceive it. See more 01/13/2018 "Hello, Daddy, are you there?" See more 07/08/2017 As I am plunging more and more into all sorts of superficialities around to the extent that sometimes, I seem to forget myself, this film serves as a strong reminder of clear-eyed morality and judgment. See more 06/19/2017 A haunting picture that I will never forget and my first criterion purchase. Very good acting from the lead and a shocking conclusion. See more 04/02/2017 Enigmatic, visceral study of mental illness. See more 04/13/2016 One of the few films managed to construct an accurate perception on how schizophreniacs see this world. Winter is a man who recently was removed from psychiatric ward, he went on a quest to find his daughter while dealing with a changed world. It's really powerful yet disturbing. Definite worth watching as it was one of John Waters' favourites. See more Read all reviews
