    Each of the 11 new songs on Bottom Of The World twinkles mournfully, chamber-country meditations which blend the playful and sinister in his patented fantasia set in the US-Mexico borderlands. [May 2013, p.95]

    Amazingly, this is his first new studio album in 14 years, but it sounds as relaxed, intimate and gently startling as anything he has recorded.

    Admittedly not for everyone, Allen's music continues to breathe rare air, both haunting and delightfully thought provoking.

    Allen is quite the philosopher on The Bottom of the World as he ponders the meaning of life, sex, and dreams to a sparse musical accompaniment.

    [The album is] spare, poignant, dark and dry. [Jul 2013, p.92]

    Started watching it and didn't feel it. But it was shot and edited beautifully so I didn't turn it off. I kept one eye on the movie andStarted watching it and didn't feel it. But it was shot and edited beautifully so I didn't turn it off. I kept one eye on the movie and always was aware of the plot going on. About halfway through i thought i missed something so I started watching from the beginning again and wow. This is shot so masterfully and directing is on point. The plot is really thick and i think i need another hour just to figure out what happened and what was real in the movie.
    acting was good, story was really thought out, love plot was good..
    Definetaly check this movie out    … Full Review »
