My Own Private Idaho is in many ways a fresh, unique, and one of a kind film. It definitely will not be a film for everyone, but I did find it both interesting and entertaining, and kind of poetic. Phoenix turns in a solid final performance of his career. As for Reeves, I think his performance fits his character just about right. As two hustlers doing their thing, Van Sant handles the material from a fun, interesting, and unique perspective that gave the proceedings the necessary momentum to carry it through some of the less successful elements of the film. Overall, despite some issues I found My Own Private Idaho memorable and worth checking out.
