Austin Chronicle
More than any other filmmaker making movies about the new “kids” generation, it seems to me that Araki -- with both Doom and Totally F***ked Up -- has his finger tuned most acutely to the human pulse and not just the lens shutter. - 75
Washington Post
Doom Generation is an 85-minute, darkly comic assault on the audience, laden with satirically over-the-top (and below-the-belt) violence, unending profanity and enough references to the posterior to fill a proctologic encyclopedia. Araki wants to serve up the sleaziest, crudest fare he can dream up. His efforts can only be described as successful. - 75
Rolling Stone
It’s a savagely funny ride fueled by Araki’s insight and blunt compassion. - 70
Variety
A nihilistic comedy about a trio of alienated youngsters, pic is bold not only in its art design, but also in its narrative and tone, a mixture of satire and horror with heavy dosage of steamy sex and macabre violence. - 50
Chicago Reader
Striking to look at, though often offensively opportunistic, this mainly comes across as a throwaway shocker with energy to spare. There's not much thought in evidence though. - 50
San Francisco Chronicle
It makes you wonder when Araki is going to find something else to think about. - 40
TV Guide Magazine
For the terminally hip and/or terminally adolescent. - 25
Washington Post
In short, it's about as charming as a gob of spit.
