There's an unkillable something at the heart of "Septien," an artistic ambition that's not calculated or cynical, that feels homegrown American but is thoroughly resistant to totalitarian spectacle and the manufactured tides of mass opinion.
Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com
Fresh
The setup and storyline are absurd, but the angst underneath is as earnest as a campfire confession.
Alison Willmore, AV Club
Fresh
As intriguing as the movie is, there's the sense that its free-associative story line has been dredged up from its maker's unconscious and recounted without filter or shape.
Sam Adams, Time Out New York
Rotten
This low-budget paean to indoor plumbing and rampant facial hair doesn't unfold so much as unravel.
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
