Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
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.
– Scott Foundas,
L.A. Weekly,
8 Dec 2006
rotten:
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.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,
Chicago Reader,

rotten:
A shocker, but not a world-class one.
– Michael Wilmington,
Chicago Tribune,
16 Nov 2006
fresh:
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.
– Laura Kern,
