This film is as much comedy as it is drama; Billy's scornful attitude and his contemptuous memories are often offset by amusing dialogue and ironic, almost black, humour. Buffalo '66 is an indie feature with a dirty, minimalist look and boasts a rather faded and discoloured visual style, thanks to the use of 35mm and (for the flashback scenes) 16mm reversal film stock. One particular scene features the use of a "bullet time" effect, where the action stops abruptly and the camera view then rotates around the frozen scene, a technique that was popularised a year later in The Matrix.
