A dazzling, studious exercise in found footage excavation and reconfiguration, laced with tongue in cheek. Read full review

Vacillating between a playful comedy and a brooding melodrama, it’s a wonderful example of how one can work within the confines of homage yet emerge with a unique work in its own right. Read full review

It’s not so much an assemblage as it is a conjuring. You don’t just watch these clips — you see through and between them. The juxtapositions create vital, cosmic connections. Read full review
