	Gerry review
		Like the image of the desert, his film is arid but of an ethereal beauty, filled with loneliness and a languor that is lost in its infinite horizon.
		It is their experience that counts and he wants us to share it by opting for a slow rhythm, a narrative stripped of all screenwriting tricks and simple, repetitive and sometimes very creative shots—as that of their two faces superimposed during a cadenced walk.
		Gerry Affleck, clad in fl and very "rock n roll" for an excursion, wears a star on his t-shirt which, as a celestial symbol of direction or position on a map, seems to taunt him all the more since he's lost in the middle of nowhere.

	Gerry (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The film received widely diverse reactions, from contempt to lavish praise, as it made its way through the film festival circuit and the few theaters to which it was released.
		The way that the film is made stands in the foreground of reviews, becoming the subject, rather than the parable-like fragment of a story which the film concerns.
		A short distance from their car, in the midst of a brushy field, they agree on their mutual disinterest in a meeting with an undisclosed purpose, which they had travelled far into the wilderness to attend, and soon realize that they are lost in the desert.

	Guardian Unlimited Film \| Reviews \| Gerry
		Gerry is actually a riveting companion-piece to Elephant, and together they make up a remarkable career triumph for Van Sant after the soupy drama Good Will Hunting and Finding Forrester, his woeful flirtations with the commercial mainstream.
		The desert itself is a weird and semi-fantasised composite terrain, filmed in the Argentinian plains, California and the salt flats of Utah.
		Gerry requires a leap of faith and an investment of attention: but with its fascination and weird exhilaration it handsomely repays both.

	San Diego CityBEAT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Gerry is unforgiving in that it demands much from the audience and returns its gifts only to those who are receptive to the experience.
		The film follows two young men, both named Gerry, on a day hike to a destination only briefly referred to as “the thing.” A spontaneous and foolish shortcut sets the stage for an ill-fated trek that neither of the Gerrys is physically or emotionally prepared to experience.
		Gerry had no specific script, and this is one of the director’s most powerful tools in creating desert desolation.

	The Echopeople: Reflections on the Concept of Echolocation in Gerry: Part 2
		Gerry is surely concerned with temporal indeterminacy; taking a long take aesthetic as it does, the film deliberately juxtaposes the real time feel of this approach with its obvious lapses in time which have our heroes wandering through the desert for two or three days — perhaps.
		Such abstractions aside, the film does present one particular instance where "the third" is manifested very concretely on screen: the shot that has the two Gerries seated side by side with a third Gerry approaching in the distance.
		Film sound is one of the key areas that has the potential to break us free from ideas about Western musical composition and recognize the putting together of sound for film as no less of a compositional act than designing a symphony.

		Gerry Rogers began her film career in 1982 at the National Film Board’s Studio D in Montreal.
		Gerry’s latest film, "My Left Breast" is an intimate and starkly honest portrayal of her struggle with breast cancer, from post mastectomy, through chemotherapy and radiation.
		Filmed mostly by her partner Peggy and herself, through tears, humour and courage she opens her body, heart and soul to the camera.

	Lee's Movie Info - Gerry DVD Review
		This film, in essence, is nearly an exhibit in an art gallery in which you take what you care to from it or just walk past it without regard.
		The film opens with a long, music-driven shot of a car driving down the road; it’s this type of meditation onscreen that is like a car ride without speaking: long and without much suspense.
		What “Gerry” dares to do is be different and, in my opinion, is successful in its endeavor, and I’m grateful that I saw it and would recommend that those who are still interested in seeing the film see it; we can talk later.

	CLGA NPC: Gerry Rogers
		Gerry Rogers, is a person who gives from her heart as well as her mind.
		Gerry's vulnerability is her strength as she lets the viewer see her unmasked.
		But Gerry's biggest accomplishment, according to the many people who know and love her, is the kindness and caring that she shares with all who come in contact with her.

	Boston Phoenix Movies \| Landscape art (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		This knowledge can only work against the film, less by raising hopes for a kind of entertainment that Gerry is uninterested in offering (to say the least) than by tempting the cynical to dismiss this elegant meditation as a rich kids’ art project.
		The two characters in Gerry, who are both named Gerry, go hiking toward some destination identified only (with the whimsical obscurity that characterizes all their dialogue) as "the thing." They impulsively discontinue the trip and turn back, only to get lost.
		The dialogue is the most problematic aspect of Gerry, since it’s here that the film must either try to work as a psychological drama or justify its not working as such, and either choice has pitfalls: on the one hand, triteness and conformism; on the other, a cute and self-conscious quest for avant-garde cachet.

	NYFA Quarterly - Art news for artists and all those who support them
		Reygadas worked against the clock to finish the film in time for the festival, and showed a version that was about 20 minutes longer than the finished cut of the film shown at Cannes three months later.
		Now these two films are intertwined, linked by the circumstances of their initial appearance, but more fundamentally and expressively by their shared sensibility, critical visual influences, and willingness to expand the formal capabilities of the medium at the expense of extreme audience discomfort.
		Gerry and Japón demand not only the absolute involvement of their audience, they require a familiarity with film culture and appreciation of specific filmmakers such as Bela Tarr, Abbas Kiarostami, Chantal Akerman, Hou Hsiao-hsien, and the late Russian master Andrei Tarkovsky to deepen their often elusive meanings.

		He told me that he's written all but one of the 11 new numbers in the film and that they'll all be issued on an LP about September or October when the film was due for release.
		He added that the cost mattered less than may be thought - and that a film costing two or three times more than 'Ferry 'Cross the Mersey' wasn't necessarily going to be two or three times better.

		Gerry forces her husband to go along with her deceptive pretense that she had asked for earlier - he is identified as her brother with the odd name of Captain McGlue.
		[Gerry is now confronted with difficult circumstances - a choice between a rich man and his vast wealth, and her poor, dreamer husband.] The Princess immediately falls for Tom (Gerry claims he's not married but "entirely free") and invites both of them to stay at her mansion.

	Aversion Therapy
		You could say Gus Van Sant's new film Gerry is a statement against the garbage he's been shoveling into theaters since his amusing film To Die For was released in 1995.
		This film is loaded with symbolic imagery, and it has an extremely ethereal quality, in part due to the score by Arvo Pärt, but mostly because of the director's use of movement and stasis.
		Some of the most potent moments in the film occur later on, when each Gerry's psyche is visualized through furious, fast-motion images of the highway they drove in on.

		Gerry (Damon) and his good friend Gerry (Affleck) are two young men who travel to an undisclosed desert region.
		The film is clearly meant to make you feel what these two young men are feeling as they scour desert and brush over several days, and the filmmakers don’t let up.
		Whereas an IMAX film of nature is meant to make one appreciate the beauty and majesty of our world, the cinematography in Gerry is meant to corrupt whatever positive feelings you had toward mountains or tumbleweed.

	Gerry (2002): Casey Affleck, Matt Damon - PopMatters Film Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Gerry traces their gradual, necessary coming to terms with what they can never know, and what they must.
		The Gerrys traverse landscapes ranging from barren brush to sand dunes to blasted-out craters, thinking they're headed north, to the highway, where cars are moving -- just over the next mountain, the next plateau, the next hill -- the highway exists, they know it.
		As the film more or less locks you into Josey's perspective, it appears that even the bleak environment denotes her perpetual exhaustion.

		The rest of the film is spent with them while they continue to lose their way, as they get deeper and deeper into the desert and farther and farther away from food, water, and civilization.
		With its euphorically slow shots of the surroundings that become a third character in the film, it encourages the viewer to be placed, as I was, in a state of deep reflection.
		By the film's conclusion (that I dare not reveal), both Gerrys have a deep understanding of one another, and the film becomes a story about two souls that have melded into one; two men at peace with one another and the Earth.

	Las Vegas Weekly: Gerry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		For those fixed on exalting independent cinema based on its “indie-ness” alone, Gerry offers plenty to celebrate: A thinking person’s film, stripped of all Hollywood embellishments, Gerry is a thoughtful study of man’s insignificance in the larger world and his uncompromising will to survive, doubling as a powerful commentary on the deterioration of modern society.
		Gerry No. 1 (Damon) is all cocky confidence in the beginning, never for a moment admitting they could be in serious shit.
		The day I screened Gerry, two people walked out within 30 minutes, the guy in front of me fell asleep, and the unanimous opinion from the audience was a resounding “Boo!” Gerry is tough to sit through, and it seems to operate under the sweeping assumption that serious art is painful.

	Slant Magazine - Film Review: Gerry
		Gerry has drawn obvious comparisons to Beckett's Waiting for Godot; Gerry I and II walk through the desert in pursuit of "the thing" (because, like Estragon and Vladimir, they search for a God that they know very little about) and sporadically engage in nonsense talk that puts them in conflict with each other.
		Affleck's Gerry puts great trust in the other Gerry's ability to save him from a physical quandary and to later elevate him to a spiritual one.
		Because Gerry is an homage to Bela Tarr, the film will likely be approached with the same kind of trepidation and discomfort that have prevented the Hungarian director's epic masterpieces from receiving proper stateside releases.

		Gerry is a wonderful little oddity, a rich, challenging mood piece that may not cohere thematically but takes us on a compelling, unique journey.
		Indeed, the two films have some elements in common, most significantly that their themes are abstruse to the point that even the directors seem to have little idea where, if anywhere, they are going with all this.

	Gerry - Rotten Tomatoes
		In Gus Van Sant's GERRY, a film more concerned with atmosphere and visual breadth than with story or plot, a frivolous hike through the desert evolves into an existential journey for two young men.
		Though the film is shorter than two hours, it's so sluggishly paced and uninteresting that it feels as if it's actually several days long.
		Gerry proposes simplicity; even the most capsulated descriptions of it are dubious.

		In Gus Van Sant's GERRY, a film more concerned with atmosphere and visual breadth than with story or plot, a frivolous hike through the desert evolves into an existential journey for two young men.
		On the other hand maybe the characters could have just been eliminated entirely, and more emphasis placed on the atmospheric landscape photography slideshow that the film basically was, but the characters journey was important in giving the film a sense of movement and progression.
		I'll restrain myself from backlashing against the fans though, and judging this film as the half-assed experiment I consider it to be, I'll give it four stars for at least achieving some kind of impact.

	NOW PLAYING—Gerry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Savides, a veteran of such films as Se7en and Heavenly Creatures, shoots the desert in much the same way that Norman Cohn shot the Arctic in last year’s The Fast Runner, like it is the last landscape on Earth.
		Therefore, the fact that the film and its only two characters are named Gerry is more than just an example of minimalism; it is a description of the characters, and the events of the film (the film, after all, is strictly about them getting lost in the desert).
		Beyond the description of the events contained in the film, Van Sant’s decision to call this film Gerry seems like a nod to how he expected critics and audiences to respond to his film: as if Van Sant wanted to say it before anyone else got a chance to.

	The Echopeople: Reflections on the concept of echolocation in Gerry: Part 1
		Like many dualities in the film, there is a tension between the uncontrolled nature of being lost and the controlled manner in which this being lost has been filmed.
		Given the fact that Damon’s Gerry wins the game by the end of the film, he could be posited as a metaphor for the source in an echo, while Affleck’s Gerry is the reverberation that follows.
		Thus the film is a meditation on cinema itself: a koan the experiencing of which is its sole purpose, rather than the provocation of any set answers to clean up the litter of Gerries left in our heroes’ wake.

		A unique collaboration between Van Sant, Damon and Affleck, the film boldly explores the effect of extreme conditions on man, challenges the filmgoer, and brings the medium of film itself to the forefront.
		He now returns to familiar ground in Gerry, with the sole difference being that the Affleck in question is younger brother Casey rather than Ben, whose plate was already quite full with Changing Lanes, The Sum of All Fears and Daredevil.
		Conversely, Gerry is a bold, cinematic venture where the three men basically went out into the desert in the middle of nowhere and improvised the body of a film.
