Movie Reviews

Shockya.com - 8/10 by Brent SimonBoth a love letter and a break-up. It shows a deep bond between mother and son, but also the veritable chasm that mental illness represents between those struggling with it and those who love them.
Variety - 6/10 by Leslie FelperinUltimately, "Renee" feels less like a walk away than a retread.
Slant Magazine - 6/10 by Diego SemereneIt's Jonathan Caouette's insistence in going back to his nightmarish old footage, or the old footage that he purposefully renders nightmarish, that seems more interesting.
New York Times - 5/10 by Nicolas RapoldWalk Away Renee lets us observe a mother-son bond, but Mr. Caouette hasn't found a way to galvanize this incarnation of material for strangers.
New York Post - 5/10 by Lou LumenickThe extra money has bought a professional crew for scripted sequences, in which Jonathan and his mother too often mug for the camera.
User Review - 6/10 by Greg SJonathan Caouette documents moving his mentally ill mother Renee from a group home in Houston to one in New York to be closer to him; on the trip she loses her medication and dementia and paranoia set in. Some of the scenes appear to be recreations, and there are curious psychedelic montages to illustrate mom's crazy state of mind. A touching, if meandering, tribute.
