Critic Reviews

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
"Silver Bullets" neither pleases the eye nor stimulates the mind.
Mark Holcomb, Village Voice
Swanberg ignores tired supernatural scare-flick trappings and locates terror in the shadowy, passive-aggressive process of making, and watching, movies.
Richard Brody, New Yorker
To elicit the film's flayed sensibility, Swanberg has developed a flagrantly expressive camera style that virtually gashes the screen with intense contrasts, bright lights, and screaming colors.
Kam Williams, NewsBlaze
Mumblecore movement explores horror genre, Joe Swanberg-style!
Alison Willmore, AV Club
A significant step forward for Joe Swanberg, a filmmaker best known for chronicling the romantic misadventures of futon-owning twentysomethings.
Jaime N. Christley, Slant Magazine
It's certainly autobiographical, and it's okay to accept that, but at the same time, it's a mistake to decide that that's the whole show.
