A compelling and disturbing drama about some elemental male issues.

In another light the group's - and the film's - portentous resolution looks a lot like quitting, in true slacker style.

Variety
A weekend romp for four middle-aged buddies devolves into a drug-fueled, suicidal hell in Mark Pellington's ill-conceived and executed I Melt With You, a work of extreme self-indulgence.

Village Voice
Stylish cinematography and an awesome punk-and-new-wave soundtrack make the early, music-video-like montages of debauchery at least trashy entertainment, but the film's second half couldn't be more contemptible.
