Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
An amiable but wholly unnecessary movie that plays like a feature-length version of those reels one watches while eating rubbery chicken at a banquet honoring a much-loved artist.

rotten:
Feels slapped together, something you'd see at an awards dinner, save for the dippy cartoon segments, which considering the subject's creative use of animation ("A Scanner Darkly"), undercut every anecdotal stab at thoughtful analysis.

fresh:
The luminaries in "21" pay deserving tribute to Mr. Linklater. Soon, perhaps, so will the Academy.

rotten:
"21 Years: Richard Linklater" makes for a disappointingly hollow hagiography: gushy, superficial and strangely overdue - arriving significantly later than its title prescribes.

fresh:
There are great clips and good insight, and it's all as loose and cool as an Austin night out.
