Derek Malcolm Guardian The film attempts to be both a pawky comedy of American manners and an ironic warning about violence breeding violence. It succeeds best as the former, painting its odd world with some shred brushstrokes. Feb 29, 2024 Full Review Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader Somehow the relevance of guns in all of this top-heavy and untidy plot material tends to get lost. Rated: 1/4 Jun 3, 2022 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Rated: 3/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Quentin Falk Sunday Mirror (UK) Whatever else, My New Gun pleads the case for gun control very effectively. Rated: 2/5 Feb 29, 2024 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Unlike most movies about suburbia, Cochran's indie displays no condenscension or mean-spiritedness to her characters, instead taking a quirkily laconic, minimalist approach.

Makarizo S One of my all time favorite movies. It shows you the impact of owning a gun. It doesnt judge or preach about gun ownership but you leave it realizing it's a whole new level of responsibility. Guns are almost sentient that they have the impact nearing that of a human. It also teaches you that while you may be rational, never ever assume someone else is. People make crazy decisions so make sure you are not on the hook for anyone but yourself. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/11/24 Full Review Audience Member It is a film that suffers from its own attempt to be edgy and alternative. Most of the quirks don't add any value to what is being shown on screen. At least we know what Diane Lane was doing between Streets of Fire and Unfaithful. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Weird, you never find out what the issue was actually between Skippy and his family.... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Insane and crazy at the same time all in the same script.Diane Lane holds the sense and sensibility of this movie all together as the one whom is the continuous victim throughout this whole gun story scenario. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member You must see this movie. Diane Lane is a perfect 100000!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member The plot made no sense and the dialogue was laughable. The story was asinine and implausible. A complete waste of time.
