Green's signature pastoral tangents and codeine pacing don't slow down this tale of two boys fleeing their psychotic uncle so much as inappropriately slacken any of the story's suspenseful aspects.
Ben Walters, Time Out New York
Rotten
Green's characters often find themselves in raw, unprotected moments, but Undertow also can feel a little too mesmerized by its own junkyard visions.
Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News
Fresh
The film's first half is hypnotically watchable.
Steve Murray, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Rotten
Green is all surface and no depth in his effort to channel the late novelist William Faulkner.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
