Critic Reviews
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Glover, who appears in the film as a kind of barbarian dictator-auteur, lacks both the self-imposed ideological innocence and the talent for composing sounds and images of David Lynch.

Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
A shocker, but not a world-class one.
-
Laura Kern, New York Times
His directorial debut, What Is It? -- which plays as part of a double bill with a live, enthusiastically performed slide show in which Mr. Glover displays pages from his recent series of books -- is just as unclassifiable as he is.

Amber Wilkinson, Eye for Film
It isn't the blatant affronts - the aspects aimed to shock - that upset me, but the fact that the film lacks heart.
-
Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly
It's clear that [director] Glover is less interested in narrative than in rekindling a rich midnight-movie/avant-garde tradition that encompasses everything from Maya Deren and Jack Smith to Alejandro Jodorowsky and David Lynch.
