Storytelling
College and high school serve as the backdrop for two separate stories about cruelty, deception, storytelling, and other people's suffering that are unrelated and have different actors, titled 'Fiction' and 'Non-Fiction'.

Solondz has finally brought his critics into the frame, if only in an attempt to subject them to the same torture as everyone else.
October 13, 2002
It's never less than interesting, that's for sure, but I didn't like it.
November 07, 2002
In a scabrous follow-up to Happiness, Todd Solondz once again crafts a movie easier to admire than it is to like.
December 19, 2010
While Solondz tries and tries hard, Storytelling fails to provide much more insight than the inside column of a torn book jacket.
February 10, 2007
The film is marked by the same darkly humorous sensibility of rest of Solondz's work, excpet that the novelty is gone and the acerbic vision is now contained in a fractured text marred by poor storytelling and shifting tone--it's not easy to shock anymore
February 08, 2002
Solondz is without doubt an artist of uncompromising vision, but that vision is beginning to feel, if not morally bankrupt, at least terribly monotonous.

Todd Solondz is a white Spike Lee.
March 13, 2002
Despite [Solondz's] undeniable talent, however manipulative, his stories are too sour and mean-spirited for my taste.
February 08, 2002
A frustrating experience, made more so by the seemingly self-referential moments in the film.
February 08, 2002
Sometimes seems less like storytelling than something the otherwise compelling director needed to get off his chest.
February 15, 2002
In his latest effort, Storytelling, Solondz has finally made a movie that isn't just offensive -- it also happens to be good.
February 24, 2002
That Storytelling has value cannot be denied. Not even Solondz's thirst for controversy, sketchy characters and immature provocations can fully succeed at cheapening it.
