Critic Reviews
-
Ronnie Scheib, Variety
This curious blend of documentary and narrative, held together less by any plot device than by a rigorous aesthetic, proves all the more effective for being in service of casual naturalism.
-
Peter Brunette, Hollywood Reporter
Points must be awarded for nerve, but virtually every aspect of this misbegotten film misfires.
-
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post
With "Putty Hill," Porterfield joins the company of American indie directors Ramin Bahrani and Kelly Reichardt, filmmakers often compelled to seek out everyday souls in their textured, oh-so quotidian environs.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
It looks closely, burrows deep, considers the way in which lives have become pointless and death therefore less meaningful.
-
Sheri Linden, Los Angeles Times
"Putty Hill" transcends the usual docudrama hybrid to occupy a thrilling third place, dreamlike and scruffy, opaque and pellucid.
