Kevin Spacey, who produced the film, is wasted in completely unnecessary role.
April 15, 2004
A sidetracking subplot about Madison's adulterous fling with a co-worker goes nowhere; it is one of several unsatisfying, tertiary plot strands.

Powerful and provocative--if perhaps a bit subdued.
April 09, 2004
Besides being puffed up with its importance, it's also inert and totally implausible -- one of those movies where nobody behaves in a way that seems remotely human.

Hoge seems to take delight in the fact that the film's conclusion is so frustratingly vague, whereas in fact it's both annoying and disappointing.

Uneven drama that's too intense for kids.
Orlando Sentinel

An intriguing movie about how badly we really want to know the unknowable, what makes kids kill other kids.

[Hoge] spends an awful lot of time trying to get us to understand Leland and almost none trying to get us to understand his victim.

A very good film about the utter senselessness of murder...

Isn't it sad that a boy like this could feel so lost that he had to kill someone? Well, maybe. But isn't it sadder that someone's dead?

"The United States Of Leland" deftly points out dilemmas in current American ideology that frequently escalate into tragedy.
Globe and Mail

It's neither an insightful nor well-made film.
