Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
It looks closely, burrows deep, considers the way in which lives have become pointless and death therefore less meaningful.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
15 Apr 2011
fresh:
With "Putty Hill," Porterfield joins the company of American indie directors Ramin Bahrani and Kelly Reichardt, filmmakers often compelled to seek out everyday souls in their textured, oh-so quotidian environs.
– Lisa Kennedy,
Denver Post,
22 Apr 2011
fresh:
Porterfield's rejection of obvious irony makes this not only a warm film, but one which shows the real face of America's poor, young and disenfranchised.
– David Jenkins,
Time Out,
15 Jun 2011
rotten:
Points must be awarded for nerve, but virtually every aspect of this misbegotten film misfires.
– Peter Brunette,
Hollywood Reporter,
8 Aug 2011
fresh:
This curious blend of documentary and narrative, held together less by any plot device than by a rigorous aesthetic, proves all the more effective for being in service of casual naturalism.
