Uncle John Ratings & Reviews
The MacGuffin
Allen Almachar
Here is a story about secrets and lies. Darkness is hidden under a guise of normality not just from the people in the periphery, but also from the main characters themselves.
Epoch Times
Joe Bendel
Ashton has worked steadily for years, but with Uncle he finally gets a career-defining role, flat-out knocking it out of the park with his quiet, slow-boiling performance.
The Film Stage
Amanda Waltz
[Steven Piet] has masterfully interwoven multiple genres into one tightly crafted, surprising little film.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
The movie's small, but Ashton keeps us watching and listening.
Observer
Rex Reed
The kind of polished, understated throb in the temple that gives independent, low-budget filmmaking a good reputation. Uncle John is meticulously observed and startlingly good.
Paste Magazine
Christine N. Ziemba
Uncle John is an audacious combination of genres: a slow-burning mystery-thriller mixed with a mumblecore love story. There's a dash of morbid comedy thrown in for good measure, too.
JoBlo's Movie Network
JimmyO
This is a truly special film that is intent on taking the road less travelled.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rob Thomas
For a first film, it's very assured filmmaking, and from here Piet and Crary could choose to go in either direction "Uncle John" points to - or any direction, really.
Los Angeles Times
Martin Tsai
The two mostly unrelated stories culminate in a climactic crosscutting of sex and violence that borders on farcical.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
"Uncle John" is so subtle, so exquisitely paced and so determined not to go in any of the obvious directions that it's hard to believe the film is Steven Piet's first feature.
Under the Radar
Austin Trunick
Overall, a very impressive piece.
Village Voice
Chuck Wilson
Thanks to Ashton's brilliant, career-defining performance, we're made to see that the only thing worse than doing evil deeds is being nice enough to feel guilty about them.
Film Journal International
Frank Lovece
This may be the only time I've wanted to see a director's cut where there's less material.
