There is a air of intriguing atavism about the textures and contours of Buffalo '66's visual style and tone.

RTTIME MagazineAug 30, 2016

Gallo, who also wrote, directed and scored Buffalo '66 , is a smart young filmmaker, not least in his casting.

RTL.A. WeeklyAug 30, 2016

For a study in untrammeled lunacy, the movie is a highly constructed and tightly controlled work.

K

RTCommon Sense MediaMay 12, 2026

Buffalo '66 combines a psychological crime drama with romance and plenty of dark comedy, and has definitely found its place as a bit of a cult classic from the 1990s.
