"Littlerock" tells a confident story that knows precisely where it's going.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh

Ott has explored his theme - how each person's destiny is propelled by the past but left dangling, isolated in a seemingly formless present - with great subtlety.

Tom Keogh, Seattle Times
Fresh

[Ott's] distilled the town until it floats somewhere between a hangover and a dream.

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
Fresh

This evocative, deceptively rich slice of life has its own voice, and it never fails to be enjoyable for several reasons.

David Lewis, San Francisco Chronicle
Fresh

An ethereal and ephemeral musing on the art and artifice of communication.

Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times
