While vastly superior to Larry Clark's other films, "Another Day in Paradise" shares with them a brazen directness which makes it uneasy viewing, particular the many scenes picturing graphic violence. However it's a powerful and moving film with some exceptional... Full review
This is Larry Clarks best.

Tasha - imdb.com
Once again Larry Clark has made a film that is mesmerizing, gut wrenching, and shocking. This movie is about two junkies(James Woods and Melanie Griffith) "who adopt" two young lovers (Vincent Kartheiser and Natasha Gregson Wagner) into their world of... Full review

This is one of the most disturbing, pessimistic, and overall depressing films I've ever seen -- naturally I loved it. It affected me powerfully. The camera work/artistic shot set-ups, along with the dark color quality set the tone for the... Full review
'Kids' director Larry Clark really comes up trumps with this fine story of crime, addiction and surrogate families. Relative unknown Vincent Kartheiser, and the up and coming Natasha Gregson Wagner ('Lost Highway', 'Two Girls and a Guy') are fine as... Full review

I read in a screenwriting book that the first thing a screenwriter should remind him/herself is don't think up an idea and then say to yourself, "It's been done before." Because no matter how many times that idea was used... Full review

This was a movie I was unsure about, having not really liked "Kids" and not being too much of a James Woods or Melanie Griffith fan.But from the first scene to the very last, I have only praise for all... Full review

Donald J. Lamb - imdb.com
Another film of the drug/gangster sub-genre, ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE is upper echelon material as far as these pictures go. It is also a sibling to DRUGSTORE COWBOY unintentionally. There are so many similarities because it is impossible to make... Full review

Excellent work by the actors, especially Woods and Griffith.....The movie turns ugly on a dime....letting the melodramatic scenes rise over the top.....A mistake by screenwriters Christopher Landon and Stephen Chin, who adapted a novel by Eddie Little:.... ... Full Review

Slant Magazine
This purposefully disturbing film, like Kids and Bully Melanie Griffith gives a daring performance as a junkie Mother Goose: She loves and nurtures the film's teenagers but that's where her positive influence ends, disturbingly searching for a vein on her body to stick a needle into. ...

The question is whether a family of junkie-thievescan make for a good film. Junkie-thieves don't make for good role models. Clark does well to bring a much-needed touch of gory reality to his movie's violence. ... Full Review
