Leave your thoughts about Thou Wast Mild and Lovely.
| New York TimesNicolas RapoldThe setup’s clichés grow harder to ignore, despite a welcome mischievous streak and some bucolic imagery. |
| Film ThrillsDeirdre CrimminsLike watching exceedingly slow train wreck, the small touches of horror are amplified. |
| Los Angeles Daily NewsBob StraussDecker's Thou Wast Mild & Lovely is certainly unique, if a kinda sorta sex thriller made in a nature-lovin', oddly edited, narratively dithering Terrence Malick manner counts as unusual. |
| indieWireEric KohnDecker's narrative work practically celebrates a willingness to follow outright silly pathways in order to arrive at unsettling results. |
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenThis is a confident work that smashingly updates the Southern gothic for contemporary generations. |
| The PlaylistRodrigo PerezAlluring and captivating, Thou Wast Mild and Lovely can’t ultimately overcome its undeveloped arty tendencies, but its hazy exploration of dread and desire is still unique enough to make an impression. |
| Village VoiceMichael NordineOur glimpses of what's already occurred and what will soon come are vivid and impressionistic, prophetic warnings about which everyone seems powerless to do anything other than silently observe. |
| The A.V. ClubJenni MillerThe masculine posturing between the two men and uncomfortable sexual tension between Akin and Sarah move the story along nicely, but the editorial techniques that made "Butter’s" loosey-goosey narrative work so well undermine Thou Wast Mild. |
| CineVueJoseph WalshThe drama holds to an extent and the performances are strong, aided by Ashley Connor's keen eye as cinematographer. |
| Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyShot in a woozy handheld style and laced with fussy visual affectations, the story mixes ripe sensuality with brooding menace in a tranquil pastoral setting. It’s not uninteresting but too self-consciously arty to rank Decker as a mature filmmaking voice. |
