"Slant"s reviews, which A. O. Scott of "The New York Times" has described as "passionate and often prickly", have occasionally been the source of debate and discourse online and in the media. Ed Gonzalez's review of Kevin Gage's 2005 film "Chaos" sparked some controversy when Roger Ebert quoted it in his review of the film for the "Chicago Sun-Times"; "The New York Press" quoted another "Slant" writer, Keith Uhlich, in a review of the Michael Bay film "The Island"; and Gonzalez, who wrote regularly for "The Village Voice" film section, was praised by former "Voice" critic Nathan Lee for his attention to politics and pop culture in a lively and interesting way.
