There's almost no plot and just two other minor characters but Prince Avalanche is a haunting, eccentric and ultimately touching little curio.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 6, 2017

This isn't a film; it's a one-act high-school play. Feel free to leave Prince Avalanche flailing in the wilderness.

| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Jan 9, 2017

The journey taken by Alvin and Lance has few plot points, but the film is remarkably gripping and rich.

| Nov 4, 2013

A patience-testing two-hander about a pair of bickering oddballs spending an irritable summer painting traffic lines in the middle of fire-ravaged woodland.

David Gordon Green returns to serious filmmaking with this Waiting for Godot for the All Tomorrow's Parties set.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 17, 2013

Cute, but thin.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 17, 2013

Green has finally hit the sweet spot between his two cinematic modes - it's light, very funny, and gorgeously scored, by David Wingo and Explosions in the Sky.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 17, 2013

One of the most intriguing and thoughtful American films of the year.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 15, 2013

Gordon Green follows up a pair of execrable comedies with a wise and witty slow-motion road trip that catches the sun.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 14, 2013

Its absurdist tact won't be for everybody, but there is satisfaction in the nuanced, often-pleasing performances from Rudd and Hirsch as they slowly reveal their characters to both the audience and each other. These two grow on you.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 23, 2013

It's an intimate two-hander with lots of dialogue, humour and poignant revelations, set against a backdrop of rugged woodland beauty.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 23, 2013

[A] gently existentialist buddy movie.

| Aug 16, 2013

David Gordon Green's latest film has the amusing buoyancy of a lark but the existential depth of a head-scratcher. The film entertains, puzzles, and strays outside the lines.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 16, 2013

The performances and ghostly, melancholic atmosphere make it satisfying twist on the male buddy film.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 15, 2013

David Gordon Green somehow brings together the poetic sensibility of his independent art movies and the humorous lowbrow non sequiturs of his studio comedies; the results are one of a kind and often weirdly moving.

| Aug 15, 2013

It's an actors' showcase. But Green films it with real feeling and an eye for parts of the Lone Star State that, as we can see, are no longer.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 15, 2013

"Prince Avalanche" is a molehill that dreams it's a mountain when it's really, really stoned.

| Aug 15, 2013

Mr. Green has managed to turn a story about two road workers doing road work into something compelling.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 14, 2013

It's the sort of film in which "We've got a lot of lines to paint, and it's a very long road" is clearly about more than it seems to be about.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 13, 2013

Prince Avalanche is a remake of an Icelandic movie (Either Way), but it's pure David Gordon Green, from its absurdist humor to its quiet, haunted landscapes. (David Wingo's delicate score enhances both the wit and the wonder.)
