Sutton's approach is observation: We're not so much pulled into a narrative as watching images float in ethereal atmospheres. Apr 18, 2013 | Rating: 3/4

Observant but not revealing, free-form but not quite experimental, the obliquely titled "Pavilion" is a mood piece in search of a construct. Apr 12, 2013 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

If you're already on the movie's wavelength, it can be entrancing. If not, "Pavilion" may come off as flat and aimless. Mar 1, 2013 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Mr. Sutton tends toward quiet. And while his characters don't say a lot in these 70 ephemeral minutes, he says enough to make you wonder what's next. Feb 28, 2013 | Rating: 5/5

The beauty of the footage is undeniable, and the aimlessness never overstays its welcome as the film documents that strange stretch in our lives when nothing seems to matter more than the present moment, suspended in a sort of idle immortality. Feb 27, 2013 | Full Review…

The lack of anything resembling a narrative at times makes Pavilion feel more like a demo-reel than a movie, but the fleeting moments Sutton has captured are so vibrant that they accumulate into something that hums. Jul 30, 2013 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

George Washington this isn't, but there's enough heft here that the comparison can be tastefully made. Feb 26, 2013 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

A cynical advisor told Sutton he should market his film as a documentary. That label would prepare potential viewers for Pavilion's lack of story, but it would make a lie of the movie's patient, finely drawn loveliness. Feb 27, 2013 | Full Review…

Shallow-focus photography sharpens the action and gives the seemingly banal images a sense of drama, capturing the urgency of childhood without resorting to histrionics. Feb 27, 2013 | Full Review…
