Critic Reviews

  • Wesley Morris, Boston Globe

    It's all a labored sort of strange, like someone forcing himself to have a bad dream.

  • Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com

    There's an unkillable something at the heart of "Septien," an artistic ambition that's not calculated or cynical, that feels homegrown American but is thoroughly resistant to totalitarian spectacle and the manufactured tides of mass opinion.

  • Sam Adams, Time Out New York

    As intriguing as the movie is, there's the sense that its free-associative story line has been dredged up from its maker's unconscious and recounted without filter or shape.

  • Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times

    This low-budget paean to indoor plumbing and rampant facial hair doesn't unfold so much as unravel.

  • Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice

    Never the same movie for five minutes straight, Septien can't sit still.
