Leave your thoughts about Hide Your Smiling Faces.
| AwardsCircuit.comClayton DavisHide Your Smiling Faces is a magnificent portrait and Carbone's paintbrush laid strokes of love, anger, confusion, and a rainbow of emotions to indulge the audience. |
| The PlaylistRodrigo PerezFeaturing two exceptional lead performances from these two boys, first rate beauty-in-ugliness photography and an unusually extraordinary command of tone, Carbone’s picture skillfully articulates the inexpressible. |
| Wall Street JournalSteve DollarTraces of classic coming-of-age dramas such as Stand by Me and River's Edge are evoked in this lyrical and low-key reflection on sudden mortality and childhood's end. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. Jones[Features an] outsider perspective, authentic locations, unforced naturalism, and fresh, improvisatory work by first-time actors. |
| NewcityRay PrideCarbone has a voice, an eye, and one would guess had a boyhood in a mild wild like the one the brothers eddy through. The elegant, of-course-that's-the-world cinematography is by Nick Bentgen. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenAs the local boys (there are no girls) explore the natural world in summer, this gorgeously photographed movie bombards you with imagined scents of ripeness and decay. |
| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoWhat elevates Hide Your Smiling Faces is Carbone's gentle, lyrical touch where other filmmakers would have turned the same thematic concerns into melodrama. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeCarbone's script doesn't tell a story so much as watch the fluctuations in emotional energy here, quietly observing activities both directly and indirectly related to the loss. As a director he's patient but never sluggish, taking time to appreciate the still landscapes his characters move through. |
| VarietyGuy LodgeAssisted by the superb performances of his two young, refreshingly unaffected leads, Carbone has a profound understanding of the close but conflicted bond that exists between brothers on either side of the puberty divide. |
| Film.comJordan HoffmanThe landscape is a definitive presence throughout the film, which has almost no music and very little dialogue. The film is short (approximately 80 minutes) and maintains a good sense of dread throughout. |
