  6. Gummo (1997) Film Review

    12/03/2025

    Gummo (1997) Film Review

    The A24 Rocks crew looks back at the first feature film Harmony Korine directed, the controversial Criterion classic Gummo. Korine directed one of the most famous A24 films in Spring Breakers, so these film reviewers wondered what kind of filmmaking themes Korine established early in his career. And to say the least, controversy was always in his wheelhouse. Gummo is a non-linear story about Xenia, Ohio, a tornado ravaged town with two boys named Solomon and Tummler hunting cats for money. It was also the third film for Chloe Sevigny, who has acted in many other indie gems in her career. How has Gummo aged after all these years? Caution: movie spoilers. Intro- 0:00 to 1:35. Film Review- 1:35 to 54:04. Film Ratings/Outro- 54:04 to End. Upcoming Podcast Release Schedule- December 10th- In Fabric. December 17th- Go. December 24th- Uncut Gems. January 7th- The 2019 A24 Oscars.
