GRAFFITI "Matthew Patrick’s Oscar Nominated adaptation of a Julio Cortazar story is a shining display of pure visual narrative, a romantic political parable, as powerful as it is poetic." LOS ANGELES TIMES
TAINTED BLOOD "This neat little thriller directed by Matthew Patrick makes a valiant effort to conceal the killer’s identity and keep the level of interest high as one revelation after another sets the pendulum swinging between suspects.” CINEFANTASTIQUE
HIDER IN THE HOUSE "Director Matthew Patrick shares Hitchcock's preference
for the power of suspense over surprise: what grips an audience most is not
knowing what's going to happen but how and when." SUNDAY TRIBUNE
NIGHT OWL “Jennifer Beales and James Wilder are a delight” VARIETY
HIDER IN THE HOUSE Patrick resists the clichéd mannerisms and overt violence
of the contemporary horror movie in favor of uneasy intimacy, diffuse lighting
and intelligent characterization. Worth looking out for." THE GUARDIAN

in this stunning visual and aural production that utilizes the
music of Stravinsky.” HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

ATRAPADOS is also a front runner for one of my ten best of the year."
TWIN CITIES READER
ATRAPADOS (Trapped) Fascinating indie fantasy film." VARIETY
"Matthew Patrick is concerned with the fusion of senses and sounds in his
film TRIPTYCH, an experimental sensual movie that translates body language.
" LOS ANGELES TIMES
ATRAPADOS (Trapped) "This is a staggeringly imaginative and gripping
film." TELLURIDE TIMES
HIDER IN THE HOUSE Solid performances, intriguing plot and an interesting play on the 'villain or victim?' theme make director Matthew Patrick's film a delight trimmed with cunning and terror. Gary Busey, as an ill-treated and psychopathic adult living like a fugitive in the attic above a well-adjusted family's suburban house, is infused with just the right degree of humanity and confusion; while the audience is allowed to tune into two distinct worlds, one of affection and domestication, the other of a wild isolation
which craves contact." FILM MONTHLY
ATRAPADOS (Trapped) "A real hybrid - an apocalyptic, science-fantasy.
For an independent film, this is not only astoundingly original, but extremely well made, and so strange it's got to be believable. Colorful, mysterious and unlike anything you've ever seen." CITY PAGES
