REVIEWS

GRAFFITI "Matthew Patrick’s Oscar Nominated adaptation of a Julio Cortazar story is a shining display of pure visual narrative, a romantic political parable, as powerful as it is poetic." LOS ANGELES TIMES

TAINTED BLOOD "This neat little thriller directed by Matthew Patrick makes a valiant effort to conceal the killer’s identity and keep the level of interest high as one revelation after another sets the pendulum swinging between suspects.” CINEFANTASTIQUE

NIGHT OWL “Jennifer Beales and James Wilder are a delight.” VARIETY

TRIPTYCH "Matthew Patrick utilized innovative and advanced techniques in this stunning visual and aural production that utilizes the music of Stravinsky.” HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

"Matthew Patrick is concerned with the fusion of senses and sounds in his film TRIPTYCH, an experimental sensual movie that translates body language." LOS ANGELES TIMES

ATRAPADOS (Trapped) “is a staggering and haunting film, directed by Matthew Patrick.” LOS ANGELES TIMES

ATRAPADOS (Trapped) “Fascinating indie fantasy film." VARIETY

ATRAPADOS (Trapped) "A real hybrid - an apocalyptic, science-fantasy. For an independent film, this is not only astoundingly original, but extremely well made, and so strange it's got to be believable. Colorful, mysterious and unlike anything you've ever seen." CITY PAGES

HIDER IN THE HOUSE “Is a tense psychological suspense film which cannily explores family politics with sour wit and distinctly macabre conclusions. Rogers and McKean are first-rate, but Busey in particular has seldom been better employed, his hulking physique a reminder of the tragic monsters of movie yore, immensely threatening but intrinsically vunerable.” TIME OUT

HIDER IN THE HOUSE “Patrick resists the clichéd mannerisms and overt violence of the contemporary horror movie in favor of uneasy intimacy, diffuse lighting and intelligent characterization. Worth looking out for." THE GUARDIAN

HIDER IN THE HOUSE “Solid performances, intriguing plot and an interesting play on the 'villain or victim?' theme make director Matthew Patrick's film a delight trimmed with cunning and terror." FILM MONTHLY

HIDER IN THE HOUSE "Director Matthew Patrick shares Hitchcock's preference for the power of suspense over surprise: what grips an audience most is not knowing what's going to happen but how and when." SUNDAY TRIBUNE
