Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: "Walk Away Renee" lets us observe a mother-son bond, but Mr. Caouette hasn't found a way to galvanize this incarnation of material for strangers.
Rotten: Renee really does feel something like a remake of Tarnation, this time with more budget and less feeling.
Fresh: Hermetic, autobiographical, messy, and ultimately touching.
Fresh: It's Jonathan Caouette's insistence in going back to his nightmarish old footage, or the old footage that he purposefully renders nightmarish, that seems more interesting.
