Against this dramatic setting, the men bicker and joke with each other, eventually developing an unlikely friendship. Funny, meditative and at times surreal, Prince Avalanche features a score by Explosions in the Sky and David Wingo, and was shot by frequent Green collaborator Tim Orr was. Loosely adapted from Either Way, an Icelandic film by Hafsteinn Gunnar Siguršsson. -- (C) Magnolia Pictures

Critic Reviews

William Goss, Film.com
Occupies a strange space between Green's broadly comedic fare and devoutly character-driven dramas.

Dennis Harvey, Variety
Warmly enjoyable.

David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter
Perhaps Green's chief accomplishment in this odd little gem of a movie is that he coaxes that mutual compassion out of the characters without having to put it into words.

Simon Miraudo, Quickflix
What a lovely, lyrical wonder David Gordon Green's Prince Avalanche is... This is a triumph. We often reserve that word for grand spectacles and epic achievements. Little wonders can be triumphs too.

Nick McCarthy, Slant Magazine
With his wry latest, David Gordon Green consolidates the bromantic interplay of Pineapple Express and Your Highness and the erstwhile elliptical lyricism of George Washington and All the Real Girls.
