Movie Reviews

Christian Science Monitor - 10/10 by David SterrittContent and style dovetail superbly in this offbeat drama, where images continually change in size and shape, evoking the story's message that human experience is always a pathway, not a destination.
New York Times - 10/10 by Dave KehrThe film is full of artists who seem to be straddling the line between compromise and conviction. There is much straddling in A House on a Hill, and not enough engagement.
The Hollywood Reporter - 6/10 by Frank ScheckUnfortunately demonstrates the same fractured attention span that makes those Oscar-night montages so entertaining.
Village Voice - 6/10 by Michael AtkinsonSquint through the humbug, and there's some genuine life going on.
New York Daily News - 6/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanIt's an interesting conceit that quickly becomes a precious annoyance especially since the drama itself is so static.
New York Post - 6/10 by Lou LumenickUltimately has a somewhat unfinished quality that complements the movie's themes -- and Hall's haunting performance.
Film Journal International - 6/10 by Harry HaunA very sophisticated and uncommon sensibility is at work.
Oregonian - 6/10 by Marc MohanIt's a compelling character study with the formal invention and editing acumen that are Workman's forte.
The A.V. Club - 4/10 by Noel MurrayThe energy of Workman's editing and the innate value of seeing the creative process play out makes House watchable.
Variety - 4/10 by Dennis HarveyPic's air of connoisseurist homage overwhelms a haphazard screenplay and characters who are hard to warm up to.
