Weee get that trash pussy! The film's very existence is funnier than actually watching it (which is to say the film is incredibly uneventful and, well, boring), which then again makes its existence even funnier. Humper, meet trash.

One needs to wade through a lot of seemingly pointless unpleasantness to get to the thoughtful moments, but that's what makes those moments shine. Plus, you have to give it to Korine for remaining unrelenting in his indulgence.

"Harmony Korine's Trash Humpers has a premise so mind-bogglingly stupid that the outcome could only be genius or daft. In a final tally, it's the latter by a long shot." - Nick Schager

This film has a meaning. There is a message. Watch all the artsy films, follow politics, get jaded but try to stay hopeful for the future and you will get it. I promise.

Probably works best if you treat it like the cinematic equivalent of a James Ferraro album. The most unfortunate thing about it is that Korine has already proven that he can do something ten times better and that this is essentially a less refined reiteration of ideas already present in Gummo. Yet somehow i found it less disappointing than Mister Lonely, probably because i expect less from Korine at this point, and at least here he's not overreaching himself.

Direct in it's aesthetic a la The Blair Witch Project and equally as scary. If you are familiar with Korine's work, than how this overall piece unfurls will come as little surprise, despite there being a little (horrific) surprise in every scene.

"Korine revisits the plotless retarded trash of Gummo, this time following a trio of youngsters in old-people masks and costumes around a trashy suburbia."

Disturbing to the point of being almost demonic, while also having a haunting beauty. It doesn't have the emotional impact of Gummo and Julien, due to having masked freaks as characters rather than people, but it's as darkly hilarious as those works and another incredible addition to Korine's filmography.

It's been 12 years since Gummo and nothing much has changed. Something new next maybe?

Possibly THE funniest movie that exists. Korine bends every audience member and has his way with them. ART!!!

If the lo-fi aesthetic and the "found home video" concept of Trash Humpers is anything to go by, and if we take into account what Fight Harm would've been, in this age of "Pain Olympics" and "Man Gets Fucked To Death By Horse Then Dies" is Korine even relevant or necessary anymore? You can pass it off as art if you're Harmony Korine, apparently. I just wish that he would make it instead of faking it!

And I'm a Korine nuthugger. I admit it. Gummo and Mister Lonely both got a 100 from me and this is too. I can't help it, I love what this guy does. Maybe I'll knock either this or Mister Lonely down a couple points but the fact remains, either way: this is another original movie. It's disturbing and absolutely hilarious. A dark comedy in the truest sense, with some good cinematography, of all things, thrown in for good measure.

Harmony Korine has made a film which feels like a complete waste of time, but remains just barely intriguing enough to keep you from turning it off. My interpretation is that it's an attack against mainstream cinema audiences (trash humpers). However I prefer the idea that the tapes are a practical joke artifact to be played on the historians and film students of the future. Even though the film is utter trash with no plot, its weirdness is strangely compelling, moreso than some serious films.
