David Sterritt

Content and style dovetail superbly in this offbeat drama, where images continually change in size and shape, evoking the story's message that human experience is always a pathway, not a destination. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

It's an interesting conceit that quickly becomes a precious annoyance especially since the drama itself is so static. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

Ultimately has a somewhat unfinished quality that complements the movie's themes -- and Hall's haunting performance. Read full review

Frank Scheck

Unfortunately demonstrates the same fractured attention span that makes those Oscar-night montages so entertaining. Read full review

Dave Kehr

The film is full of artists who seem to be straddling the line between compromise and conviction. There is much straddling in A House on a Hill, and not enough engagement. Read full review

Noel Murray

The energy of Workman's editing and the innate value of seeing the creative process play out makes House watchable. Read full review

Dennis Harvey

Pic's air of connoisseurist homage overwhelms a haphazard screenplay and characters who are hard to warm up to. Read full review
