"[C]harming....Bujalkski works in streaky black and white, looking back all the more to Cassavetes..." -- Grade: B+Entertainment Weekly Ranked #17 in Film Comment's "20 Best Films Of 2006."Film Comment 3.5 stars out of 4 -- "Writer-director Bujalski has an authentic sense of the meandering daily lives and navel-gazing conversations of young urbanites..."Premiere "In Andrew Bujalski's micro-budget comedies, about the shapeless lives of American twentysomethings, things almost happen, repeatedly....The sense of narrative incompletion is evoked most effectively in Bujalski's editing style."Sight and Sound 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he naturalistic approach is part of the charm of the film, evidently inspired by the two giants of US indie cinema John Cassavetes and Jim Jarmusch."Ultimate DVD10.4968

Rolling Stone (p.70) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[S]eemingly simple elements -- plucked violin, shuffling snare drums, chiming guitars, plinky piano, his spooky croon and magisterial whistle -- build into one heady, slippery whole..."Spin (p.88) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]his stream-of-consciousness head trip blends tricky, delicious melodies and slippery lyrics, yet never lapses into annoyingly smug artiness."Entertainment Weekly (p.59) - "[A] set of low-key, carefully arranged rock songs with sneaky melodies, mumbly vocals, and only the most tasteful of quirky flourishes..." -- Grade: B+Q (p.125) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[V]ery much his own splendid creation -- a questing, kaleidoscopic world that reverberates to the sound of whistling, glockenspiels and birdsong."Magnet (p.91) - "Andrew Bird's triad of wistful, sometimes simply sad weapons -- the timbre of his voice, the weep of his violin and his painfully lonesome whistle -- combine on ARMCHAIR APOCRYPHA with some of his most intriguingly depressing tales yet."No Depression (pp.83-84) - "Busting entirely out of the intimate space he created on 2003's WEATHER SYSTEMS, Andrew Bird inhabits an emotional range and resonance on his new album that we've only glimpsed elsewhere in his catalog."Mojo (Publisher) (p.102) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Andrew Bird's songs are shot through with a beauty of terrible consequence....ARMCHAIR APOCRYPHA proves Bird's knack for the musical hat-trick."8.357613

Magnet (p.118) - "Hill's compositions range from hip-shaking soul/jazz workouts to rhythmically challenging and emotionally complex works."Down Beat (p.68) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Bracketed by elegiac dedications to bassist Malachi Favors, Andrew Hill's second return to Blue Note is suffused with jagged melodies, roiling rhythms and bracing lyricism."JazzTimes (p.93) - "As a pianist, his note choices are still cryptic, his phrase shapes are still angular and his movements still scurry. As a composer/bandleader, he still creates exotic, darkly luminous aural landscapes that inspire soloists."8.353189

Q (4/04, p.106) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[A]n atmospheric, multi-layered sound that's melodic and rhythmic but also moody and delicate."Uncut (4/04, p.93) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[A]n astonishing violin virtuoso devoting himself almost entirely to pop music....Outstanding."Magnet (6-7/03, p.84) - "...An atmospheric, serene and sometimes tense folk record crafted with wistful whistling and stylized violin playing..."CMJ (07/07/03, p.7) - "...[Andrew Bird has] a vision that will cause fans of classical music, eccentric Americana and river-pirate country tunes to all sit up a bit in their chairs....A crooner for the young and old, the hip and the square, Mr. Bird is one swinging cat."Mojo (Publisher) (3/04, p.100) - 4 stars out of 5 - "Such a beautiful record."8.345757

8.283852

The Wire (p.65) - "[The album] conjures a sense of childish wonder at the beauty of sound itself. The ghost in Pekler's machine is very much alive."8.279772

8.277463

Rolling Stone (9/18/03, p.70) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...His wholehearted, puppy-dog-cute zeal for seizing the day remains completely endearing."Spin (10/03, pp.108-110) - "...THE WOLF works best as a concept album about never surrendering the night when you got your first real six-string at the five-and-dime and were trying' to break free..." - Grade: BEntertainment Weekly (9/12/03, p.150) - "...Just because W.K. has found his soft center lyrically, it doesn't mean the music has lost any of its hard core..." - Rating: B+Q (10/03, p.100) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...THE WOLF sees WK adding a little more classic rock sensibility to his high-energy party metal..."8.275344

"BEESWAX deals with the ambivalence and inexperience of young adults who find themselves in situations that might well determine the rest of their lives....BEESWAX is also the most visually stylized of Bujalski's movies."Film Comment 4 stars out of 5 -- "The narrative and the characters are loosely molded, lending to the film's naturalism but simultaneously lending to the sense that real life is at odds with life as we see it in films."Box Office "There's real drama and tension in BEESWAX....Bujalski's funny, diverting character piece has a lived-in quality that's no small achievement." -- Grade: B+A.V. Club "That BEESWAX works more often than it doesn't suggest there's still life in Bujalski's method, as long as he keeps casting friends as compelling as Tilly and Maggie Hatcher."Movieline "[A] remarkably subtle, even elegant movie. Its leisurely scenes and hesitant, circling conversations conceal both an ingenious comic structure and a rich emotional subtext."New York Times "There are fine, observational moments..."Entertainment Weekly "[A] subtle, amusing film filled with charm and spontaneity that displays the filmmaker's gift for creating an acute sense of life being lived before our very eyes."Los Angeles Times "It's intensely self-aware -- and it's a subtle examination of this too, and an ideal and as a trap."Sight and Sound6.876493
