REVIEWS



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


TRIPTYCH  "Matthew Patrick utilized innovative and advanced techniques

in this stunning visual and aural production that utilizes the

music of Stravinsky.”     HOLLYWOOD REPORTER


ATRAPADOS (Trapped) is a staggering and haunting film, directed by

Matthew Patrick”    LOS ANGELES TIMES


HIDER IN THE HOUSE is one of the best suspense thrillers to come out lately. 

Director Matthew Patrick extracts top-notch performances from his cast,

particularly Gary Busey."        DURRANT'S WEEKLY


GRAFFITI was one of three films in his category to be NOMINATED FOR AN

ACADEMY AWARD - Live Action Short, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.


"See this movie!  Simply put, ATRAPADOS is one of the most hauntingly original films I've seen, right up there with David Lynch's midnight classic, “Eraserhead.”

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
