An interesting and savage little piece.

[Where the Buffalo Roam] features a number of amusing set-pieces of irreverent lunacy, but lack of serious substance renders film too frivolous and detached from reality.

Laughs aplenty for people who use drugs as a pose, but most will be left wondering if half a pint of Bass doesn't qualify as a revolutionary action.

The movie is about manic energy, but you can feel everyone straining just to get the next shot on the screen.

Mr. Murray is clever whenever he is audible... But the story rambles desperately, and there are times when the screenplay is barely there. Mr. Thompson's only identifiable quality soon becomes facetiousness, and it wears terribly thin.

The film invites us to chuckle along with Thompson as he indulges in a series of objectionalble episodes.

It's just a ramshackle package of bizarre anecdotes, some only marginally connected to Thompson's writings.

The trouble is that the movie can't decide if it's trying for laughs or social statement.
July 21, 2015
A sporadically amusing, frustratingly scattershot look at Thompson's life and times.

Finds no cinematic equivalent for Thompson's outrageous language; the material seems strangely meek.

Where the Buffalo Roam is a shambling stiff, destined to tarnish the reputations of everyone responsible for it.

This is the kind of bad movie that's almost worth seeing. But there are large things wrong with Where the Buffalo Roam.
