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.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
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.
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times

The luminaries in "21" pay deserving tribute to Mr. Linklater. Soon, perhaps, so will the Academy.
Andy Webster, New York Times
Rotten
"21 Years: Richard Linklater" makes for a disappointingly hollow hagiography: gushy, superficial and strangely overdue - arriving significantly later than its title prescribes.
Peter Debruge, Variety

There are great clips and good insight, and it's all as loose and cool as an Austin night out.
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
