It's a compelling character study with the formal invention and editing acumen that are Workman's forte. Full Review |

Combines an intermittently lyrical soundtrack with a relentlessly theoretical visual style to fashion an amiable fable. Full Review |

 2.5/4 |
While it's clear that Workman is fascinated by the subject matter, that turns out to be the primary problem: He gets so wrapped up in creating the structure that he forgets to put much of anything inside. Full Review |

A very sophisticated and uncommon sensibility is at work. Full Review |

2.5/4 |
Ultimately has a somewhat unfinished quality that complements the movie's themes -- and Hall's haunting performance. Full Review |

2/5 |
The film is full of artists who seem to be straddling the line between compromise and conviction. There is much straddling in A House on a Hill, and not enough engagement. Full Review |

Content and style dovetail superbly in this offbeat drama, where images continually change in size and shape, evoking the story's message that human experience is always a pathway, not a destination. Full Review |

Workman's autumnal character study may be the most sagacious cinematic dancing ever done about architecture. Full Review |
