Michael Nordine

Nov 11, 2014

Our glimpses of what's already occurred and what will soon come are vivid and impressionistic, prophetic warnings about which everyone seems powerless to do anything other than silently observe. Read full review

Decker's narrative work practically celebrates a willingness to follow outright silly pathways in order to arrive at unsettling results. Read full review

This is a confident work that smashingly updates the Southern gothic for contemporary generations. Read full review

David Rooney

Nov 9, 2014

Shot in a woozy handheld style and laced with fussy visual affectations, the story mixes ripe sensuality with brooding menace in a tranquil pastoral setting. It’s not uninteresting but too self-consciously arty to rank Decker as a mature filmmaking voice. Read full review

Alluring and captivating, Thou Wast Mild and Lovely can’t ultimately overcome its undeveloped arty tendencies, but its hazy exploration of dread and desire is still unique enough to make an impression. Read full review
