Ned is a bigoted young man whose antisocial behavior lands him in a mental hospital. There, Ned, who believes that racial minorities are inferior, meets Rachael, an African-American patient who thinks Adolf Hitler has taken up residence within her. Ned spews racial slurs in her presence, but when it becomes clear that Rachael, though disturbed, isn't actually a bigot, they embark on a relationship that confounds everyone around them.

Mark Olsen Los Angeles Times Sep 8, 2006
3.5/5
It's a little rough around the edges, to be sure, but with such strong lead performances there is something irresistible in the film's audaciously straight-faced portrayal of such an unlikely relationship. Go to Full Review
John Anderson Variety Sep 7, 2006
Neo Ned may be ludicrous on paper, but it has what fans of independent film are looking for -- atmosphere, humanity and just a dash of fantastic drama. Go to Full Review
Jas Keimig The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Dec 8, 2021
The disgust over Neo Ned is rightfully deserved. The movie carelessly throws around the n-word and other acts of violence for humor. Go to Full Review
Keith H. Brown Eye for Film Dec 7, 2007
3/5
Mark Bell Film Threat Sep 7, 2006
4.5/5
Never boring, never pretentious, never preachy, Neo Ned could find its place alongside some of the great independent romance films of all time, if enough people are able to catch a glimpse of it. Go to Full Review
Matthew Duersten L.A. Weekly Sep 7, 2006
The problem lies in the film's inability to decide whether such loaded images are funny in a Farrelly Brothers/Dave Chapelle kind of way or if they mean something deeper. Go to Full Review
