(1 - 16) of 16 OFCS Rating: 94% Fresh Page   1   3/5 "A smart little film that dances adroitly from goofy to gorgeous and back again."   Filmcritic.com   Chris Barsanti B "The modest film works best for the viewer who goes with its flow of inertia."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 3/4 "A work of Jarmuschian deadpan, Fernando Eimbcke’s Duck Season is independent in the purest and most literal sense of the word."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez B+ "The bemused sympathy we feel is brought about by both young actors doing a fine job with the minimalist material."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider "A refreshingly dramaless miniature canvas"   CinePassion   Fernando F. Croce B "Admittedly a modest piece, but it affords much pleasantly deadpan humor while also touching on deeper emotional currents."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "A light and breezy portrait of adolescence spiked with interesting observations on time, sexuality, and the search for meaning. "   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3.5/4 "Fernando Eimbcke's crisp visual sense and ear for comic timing propel the narrative forward with honest energy."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 8/10 "The movie is childhood recalled as those rare occasions when the memories have cause to stick out."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Jeffrey Chen 6/10 "...for the viewer interested in an amusing, thoughtful, independent, slice-of-life film."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 3/4 "Watch it passively and you might wonder how it even qualifies as a movie; watch it with your full attention and you will see a charming and surprisingly meaningful look at adolescent angst."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B+ "A nuanced, authentic portrait of adolescent ennui and maturation that treats pre-teen emotions with a Jim Jarmusch-ian brand of detached sympathy and bemusement."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 2/5 " Sometimes it is amusing, but mostly it is boring and icky."   Film Threat   Phil Hall 3.5/5 "These characters hilariously circle around each other ... tentatively reaching out to each other with surprising results."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 7/10 "Director Eimbcke scores a bulls eye as Ferris Bueller takes a day off in Mexico City."   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson B "The spirits of Jim Jarmusch and Kevin Smith hover over this breezy slacker comedy set on a comatose Sunday afternoon."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker  (1 - 16) of 16 OFCS Rating: 94% Fresh Page   1
