There's something undeniably compelling about the cast's daringly go-for-broke performances... but Daniels fragments the narrative and throws in so many tricksy directorial touches that the whole thing becomes an annoyingly indulgent mess.

[Daniels] can't find his directorial bearings.

The Paperboy is southern Gothic wallowing in the swamp of low camp. And if the wallowing were deliberate, this might have been hugely funny.

The sweaty, lurid, self-serious nonsense is hard to take seriously, but I'll say this much for the film: it ain't boring.

The Paperboy bears some promise as a good-bad movie, but it unfolds as a bad-bad one.

Daniels turns out to be the ideal director for a film about the tendency of desire to turn sane minds to guacamole.

The Paperboy doesn't deliver.

It's a movie that seems to have a mild form of heatstroke: it's blurry, as if filmed long ago, and feverish, and the story wanders all over the place as if lost in a bayou. When it's over, you want to wipe your brow.

The Paperboy is not all bad, but it isn't all good either. I'm not quite sure what Daniels wanted his audience to walk away with.

Yes, it's a dizzying stew set to boil.

The Paperboy is over-the-top every which way you look.
