Every Richard Linklater Movie, Ranked
Updated March 2022 to add Apollo 10½: A Space Age Childhood.
First emerging during indie cinema's golden age in the early 1990s, Linklater has (with just a few exceptions) stayed true to his indie (and Austin) roots, earning mostly stellar reviews along the way. While only 4 of his films have grossed more than $10 million, all but two of his features received acclaim from critics, making him one of the finest directors of the past 30 years. In the gallery above, we rank every one of his films from worst to best by Metascore.
Linklater's second experiment in rotoscoped animation is this 2006 adaptation of Philip K. Dick's novel of the same name, which takes place in a near-future dystopia marked by rampant drug addiction and high-tech police surveillance. (It's fiction, in case you were wondering.) Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey Jr., Woody Harrelson, and Winona Ryder head the cast.
“It's one of the most faithful movie adaptations of any Dick story to date, and it comes from the scariest of all his books, as well as the truest.” —Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
