Movie Reviews

About.com - 10/10 by Jennifer MerinSweetgrass is a film of record about the American West. It documents, pays tribute to a fast-fading way of life. You want 'True Grit?' This is it!
Antagony & Ecstasy - 10/10 by Tim BraytonA documentary of uncommon elegance and abstract expression... What always impresses about the movie is its here-and-nowness.
Projection Booth - 9/10 by Rob HumanickSuggests the opening chapter of 2001 by way of Au Hasard Balthazar.
Movie Metropolis - 9/10 by Christopher LongAn intoxicating audiovisual experience and a sprawling story that encompasses nothing less than the seasons, birth and death.
Toronto Star - 9/10 by Jason AndersonIf there's anything we can learn from the creatures here, it's that any day in which you don't get stripped of your coat or eaten by a bear is probably a good one.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 9/10 by Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)I liked it for 15 minutes or so, and then I found it intolerable.
Boston Globe - 9/10 by Ty BurrA meditative and intensely beautiful documentary.
Boston Phoenix - 9/10 by Peter KeoughCall me old-fashioned, but I find the spectacle of hundreds of sheep descending a mountainside like the conquistadors at the beginning of Werner Herzog's Aguirre, Wrath of God more impressive than all the vistas of Avatar's Pandora.
Seattle Times - 9/10 by Ted FryIn an extraordinary series of tableaux that are alternately idyllic and severe, Sweetgrass defies the conventions of what most of us regard as a documentary film.
Monsters and Critics - 9/10 by Ron WilkinsonSelf-flagellation never felt as good as filmmakers head to the high country for the last experience of the good old days.
