Critical Review Quotes
"Victor may be a slime, with no pretense of wanting women for anything but a quick shag (his staged attack on an Internet pickup who fetishizes being raped is a delirious piece of sexual theater).

B+"--Entertainment WeeklyEntertainment Weekly: Movie Review: Choke (September 25, 2008)"A completely bizarre sex farce that's heartfelt and stomach-turning in about equal measure, 'Choke' also delivers a terrific climactic twist and the best dumb-blonde joke in years. It's not for delicate tastes, but man, is it imaginative."--San Jose Mercury NewsSan Jose Mercury News: Review: 'Choke' not for those with delicate tastes (September 24, 2008)
