Movie Reviews

Baret News - 10/10 by Kam WilliamsSlavery revisited as a sick institution making for strange bedfellows.
Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) - 10/10 by Linda CookIt's not a coming-of-age movie, and it's not a slavery movie. Nor is 'The Retrieval' a Civil War movie.
AV Club - 9/10 by Ignatiy VishnevetskyDespite its meager budget, The Retrieval is characterized by its authenticity. The dialogue and attitudes are persuasive in creating both a consistent psychology and a sense of the historical past, without ever lapsing into a flowery 19th century-ness.
Variety - 9/10 by Joe LeydonEqual parts suspenseful road movie, persuasively detailed period drama and emotionally resonant coming-of-age story, The Retrieval is an outstanding example of regional indie filmmaking accomplished with limited resources and an abundance of skill.
Film Comment Magazine - 8/10 by Steven MearsDespite its plentiful achievements, The Retrieval hews too closely to familiar coming-of-age tropes and demonstrates a frustrating reluctance to be its own film.
RogerEbert.com - 8/10 by Godfrey CheshireMore than any film in recent memory, The Retrieval made this reviewer yearn for the subtle softness and subliminal flicker of celluloid, as opposed to digital's sometimes overbearing brightness and clarity.
Film Threat - 8/10 by Don SimpsonLike the subject of a well-told proverb, Will is forced to learn about loyalty and trust while he navigates the dense moral grayness between society's definitions of right and wrong.
Orange County Register - 8/10 by Michael SragowThe Retrieval's potency transcends its scope. It shows you, in microcosm, the sacrifices that forge the conscience not only of a boy, but of a nation.
Movie Habit - 8/10 by Marty MapesIt's no 12 Years a Slave but this is you how make a good film on a small budget
New York Post - 8/10 by Farran Smith NehmeThe film’s reckoning, when it comes, is fully as heartbreaking as it should be.
