Although River Phoenix has distinguished himself as an actor ever since his second film, Stand By Me, nothing he has ever done before prepares you for his performance in Private Idaho as the motherless, homeless, loveless piece of human driftwood.

American indie god Gus Van Sant's most iconic moment was this giddily rich revisionist road movie-cum-western.

"My Own Private Idaho" is both a love story and a tragedy. It remains the high point in Gus Van Sant's career.

Holding all these elements together is Van Sant's sensibility, such an elusive thing it instinctively squirms away from any attempt to pigeonhole it.

Audacious, controversial, directional, important and totally unique, you'll either love it or hate it. But see it!

One of the most original cinematic talents at work in this country, Van Sant has a knack for pulling disparate elements together and twisting them into wildly funny lyrical odysseys of the mind and heart.

Van Sant proves again that he is masterful at charting the hearts and minds of young people adrift.

This is a very rich, very sympathetic piece of work.

[Van Sant] disdain[s] narrative. He got away with Drugstore Cowboy because its band of drugged-out dodoes were engaged in a petty crime spree that almost passed for a plot. But My Own Private Idaho is a different story. Or rather nonstory.

The two actors create vivid characters, but they're so unsympathetic and Van Sant drags them through so many tiresome, pretentious scenes that it begins to look as if Phoenix's narcolepsy isn't part of the plot.

Cracked and beautiful, stranger than strange, yet in some assuring way so pulsing with life that it embraces you as warmly as Father Knows Best.

A simultaneously heartbreaking and exhilarating road movie.
