Throughout, first-time director DeMonaco shows a predilection for white-hot patches of lighting, squeezed close-ups, and actor overindulgence. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- If Staten Island, New York is an ode to what it calls "the forgotten stepchild of Manhattan," it is a barbed and quirky one. Full Review

Rating: 2/4 -- Best is D'Onofrio as a gangster turned environmental activist -- he puts on a white three-piece suit, climbs to the top of a gigantic tree and refuses to come down. Full Review

STATEN ISLAND wrings a few suspenseful and comic pleasures out of a time-bending format that has served the likes of Quentin Tarantino...

Rating: 1.5/4 -- Staten Island has the stench of meat left on the counter for too long. Full Review

Mr. DeMonaco adroitly weaves violence, absurdity and sentiment, even an environmental consciousness, into a modest, appealing fable.

Rating: 3/5 -- The tonal idiosyncrasies may grate early on but things coalesce nicely until the whole thing starts to resemble a diverting short story. Full Review
