“Macabre humour permeates Plastic Guns from beginning to end”
– Savina Petkova / Cineuropa
“A Tarantinoesque riot of a dark comedy based on a real murder case — unashamedly funny, expertly written”
– Dana Knight / Cinerratica
“A black comedy that is not for the squeamish or the easily offended”
– Lisa Nesselson / France 24
“[Director Meurisse] feels almost like [Quentin] Dupieux’s evil twin as he begins to stray, first, into Farrelly Brothers’ territory, and then something altogether more violent”
– Amber Wilkinson / Eye for Film
“[Director Jean-Christophe] Meurisse’s previous film, Bloody Oranges (2021), was the darkest of dark comedies — Unlike Bloody Oranges, which saves the shocks for the last act, Plastic Guns goes for a massive “fuck you” energy from the start. It’s hilarious. —
It’s playful, weird, and constantly surprising. But it’s not just the plotting that’s completely unpredictable; the things that come from people’s mouths are never what you expect. The dialogue is fast and furious, filled with irony and wild swerves. —
This endless desire to mock and provoke polite society with borderline indecency and stomach-churning imagery recalls John Waters’ early work, like Female Trouble (1974) or Multiple Maniacs (1970). —
Meurisse swings at everything in his eyesight. He’s an equal opportunity offender, an agent of controlled chaos and clearly one of the wittiest directors currently working.”
– Jared Abbott / Journey Into Cinema
