Arizona RepublicBill Goodykoontz
Most of all, though, it's a welcome, offbeat look at a couple of originals, something that's in woefully short supply. Read full review

You don't have to have ever seen any of their movies to enjoy It Came From Kuchar, directed by one of George's former students, Jennifer M. Kroot. But you'll probably want to catch up with their work afterward. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalle
The documentary is interesting as a human story. And anyone who loves the Kuchar brothers' films or underground cinema in general will take extra pleasure in it. Read full review

Time OutDavid Fear
These guys belong in the avant-odd pantheon. They also deserve a stronger, more penetrating tribute. Read full review
