| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 17, 2011

...a low-key comedy perfectly tuned for our times.

| Feb 2, 2009

Short on substance, despite a watchable supporting cast and an amiable overall tenor.

an anthem for hard times

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 29, 2008

Kabluey nearly implodes in the opening moments but swiftly finds its footing.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 16, 2008

An impressive debut both on screen and off.

| Original Score: B | Aug 22, 2008

Prendergast doesn't chase alternative statements, he wants to make people laugh, and Kabluey is one of the more inventive, invigorating productions to come out of the industry's lonely right field.

| Original Score: A- | Aug 12, 2008

This heartfelt film, though a bit uneven, is touching most of the time, funny some of the time, but always original and appealing.

| Aug 1, 2008

While it borrows from obvious sources, Kabluey eventually comes into its own as a wacky commentary on the state of America in the fifth year of the Iraq war.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 1, 2008

Quirky and undisturbed, unaffected and unaffecting.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jul 25, 2008

Dramedy with mature themes is light on substance.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 14, 2008

Subtle, strange and off-kilter without becoming self-consciously quirky.

| Jul 14, 2008

A dark piece of whimsy that enchants and befuddles in equal measure.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 11, 2008

In costume and character, Prendergast is a little funny and more than a little sad. So is the film.

| Original Score: B | Jul 10, 2008

Kabluey, which has no discernible political agenda, is wildly uneven and often seems like a short stretched to feature length. But it's also kind of oddly endearing.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 10, 2008

If it comes to your city, be sure to check out one of the lost gems of the year.

| Jul 10, 2008

The Austin-shot movie catches the nation's mood of economic anxiety and workplace exploitation more pungently than anything else in theaters.

| Jul 10, 2008

An offbeat a comedy of discomfort.

| Jul 10, 2008

The filmmakers here not only disguise what they would like to say about the long-waged war, they obscure the message, leaving one with not much more than a few brief glimpses of the war's effects amidst a number of quirky distractions.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 7, 2008
