Movie Reviews

Under the Radar - 8/10 by Paul BullockJason Miller's fantastic new documentary ... presents a frank, complex portrait of an artist who has been pushing the limits of his medium for almost two decades.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Peter KeoughHow exhilarating, and exhausting, it must be to wake up every day and be Kevin Barnes.
Laramie Movie Scope - 7/10 by Robert RotenWhile Kevin Barnes, and the band, are different in some ways from other musicians and bands, they are also similar in a lot of ways. This is a slightly above average musical documentary, not very different than many others in this genre.
Oregonian - 5/10 by Jamie S. RichLaced with plenty of performance footage, "The Past" peels back the curtain on one of the strangest--or some might say most pretentious--music collectives currently going.
User Review - 10/10 by Michael WWas wonderful! Don't miss this if your a fan
User Review - 10/10 by Jefferis GWoven together handsomely, this drama cleverly disguises itself as a rockumentary.
