Critic Reviews
-
Andy Webster, New York Times
A potentially stifling ambience is deflected by quiet suspense and the awe-inspiring compositions of the cinematographer, Clay Liford.
-
Ronnie Scheib, Variety
Real-life siblings Tucker and Savanna Sears deliver concentrated, totally unself-conscious perfs.
-
Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice
Like a child bluffing at knowing a secret, St. Nick teases and frustrates.
-
Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
David Lowery's debut feature is long on silence and laden with a mood of oppressive dread.
