- [New – 7/10/14] | MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: A meditative contemplation of the boredom of overprivileged, under-aspiring, shallow, spoiled kids. As you’ve been dying to see.
- Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
- Excerpt: For a first feature and for a film, period, “Palo Alto” is strong stuff. It doesn’t have a big, thinly veiled statement to make, but it’s poignant, beautifully crafted, and keenly aware of what makes a teenager tick.
