North by Current Ratings & Reviews
them.
Juan Barquin
Maybe the most unique and personal queer film of the year is Angelo Madsen Minax's North by Current, which lands somewhere between being an experimental essay and a documentary about a family navigating grief.
Gay City News
Steve Erickson
North by Current could've easily descended into the burgeoning world of true crime vultures, with Minax's own troubled family serving as carrion. But it's far more concerned with exploration than exploitation.
Michael J. Cinema
Michael J. Casey
Benefit from expert editing that favors the poetic and stream-of-consciousness.
New York Times
Nicolas Rapold
Out of the fractured family documentary, what emerges finally is a drama of self-realization.
That Shelf
Courtney Small
Painting a lyrical portrait of grief and pain that often goes unnamed, North By Current is a sensational film that is not easily forgotten.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
A fascinating film which keeps evolving and mutating as Minax delves deeper into a familial history of trauma, addiction and abuse.
The Spool
B.L. Panther
Minax's poetic narrative eye is immediately apparent as haunting music blends into whirling and flickering home video images.
Hyperallergic
Ren Scateni
Understands life upheavals as rites of passage.
The Film Experience
Glenn Dunks
Filmed over several years, Minax tells the story of his family in sombre tones but with affection as well as a keen eye to collage and even a slight avant-garde sensibility.
The Queer Review
James Kleinmann
An extraordinary, deeply personal, transcendent work of great power that's harrowing at times but ultimately a journey of healing.
Maven's Nest
Nora Lee Mandel
Switches from straight-forward storytelling of reality of Mormon family in rural Michigan to memories, impressions, and different points-of-view -- frustrating and annoying.
National Newspaper Publishers Association
Dwight Brown
Though the footage lacks artistry, the filmmaker makes up for any imperfections with his willingness to strip bare.
