PRAISE FOR ST NICK:

NYTimes Critic Pick

“Decaying rustic interiors evoke Andrew Wyeth still lifes; pastoral long shots suggest a Southwestern walkabout. And Mr. Lowery seems ready for a bigger canvas.” Andy Webster, The New York Times

“Without a doubt, the best film at SXSW 2009 was writer-director David Lowery’s lovely, lived-in, slow-burning debut feature St Nick.” - Aaron Hillis, Green Cine Daily

“One of the most memorable films of the year – an often dreamlike study of childhood where every image and moment rings true even if we’re often not sure why we’re seeing what we’re seeing.” - Eric Volmers, Calgary Herald

“This is a film that keeps going; in your head as you think about what was going on, in the car on the way home as you talk about what may have really been going on.” - Tom Maurstaud, The Dallas Morning News

“A stunning film.”- Flavorwire

“The film matures from a study of actions infused with a quiet magic, to a study of inaction, of waiting and drifting telegraphing an increasingly palpable sense of fear and dread.” - Karina Longworth, Spout.com
