| Fan The FireSam BatheHannah Fidell has quickly become one of the faces to watch in independent film, her naturalistic style of filmmaking and ability to get the best of our her actors and shepherd improvised scenes creates characters and movies you want to root for. |
| VarietyJustin ChangAlthough shot and performed in a determinedly raw, naturalistic register, this emotionally roiling portrait of two twentysomething Texas sweethearts too often veers toward melodramatic overstatement, inspiring little empathy or understanding despite the committed performances of promising young leads Taissa Farmiga and Ben Rosenfield. |
| IndiewireEric Kohn6 Years offers little in the way of new material. Yet Fidell, working with executive producers Mark and Jay Duplass, effectively broadens her range by borrowing the sibling directors' improvisatory style and ceding control to her two leads, whose heartbreaking performances imbue this familiar Austin-set narrative with a fiery edge. |
| The Young FolksAllyson Johnson...a film worth watching, one that depicts young love in all its toxic and swooning glory. |
| The PlaylistCharlie SchmidlinThere is enough in 6 Years from Farmiga and Rosenfield’s performances to warrant a watch, and Fidell’s ideas and subtle developments around such a challenging story are heartfelt and mostly well-rendered. |
| The Film StageJordan RaupThe euphoria and anguish of first love has been captured in countless films, but few do it with the level of raw authenticity and intimacy as 6 Years. |
| Fresh FictionJames Clay6 YEARS shows what happens when two well-intentioned lovers begin to fester. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenIf nothing else, 6 Years is a testament to the cohesion of the Austin filmmaking community. You can barely round a corner without seeing a familiar face or production credit. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeA melodrama benefitting from excellent performances but suffering from a too-obvious script. |
| Thompson on HollywoodRyan Lattanzio6 Years has universal appeal in spades, two lovely lead performances and a whole lot of truth. |
