In a world that undulates between fact and fiction, digital and physical, a group of SoundCloud rappers lives a solitary, post-societal existence in the desert town of Crestone, Colorado. Once a religious and spiritual mecca for many, Crestone's endless sand dunes, waterfalls, and dark caves act as a backdrop for images of tattooed bodies, cosplay wardrobes, and clouds of weed smoke. CRESTONE explores the often hidden aspects of collaboration and friendship as well as the human desire to persist against all odds. What does music sound like if there is no one left to repost and share it?

Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com Hertzler doesn't offer interesting psychological profiles, she's crafting a shapeless tone poem, aiming to manufacture a special mood for Deadgod and their grand wilderness experiment. Rated: C- Jun 23, 2021 Full Review Dan Schindel Hyperallergic An odd but riveting mixture of chillness and dread, a hangout movie with a sense of doom hanging over it. Mar 22, 2021 Full Review Morgan Rojas Cinemacy Set to a psychedelic score from Animal Collective, Crestone is a jivey, avant-garde look at the reality of novice Soundcloud rappers. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 4, 2021 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue ... doesn't ask the tough questions, provide any meaningful context, or connect the setting with any sort of creative inspiration. Feb 19, 2021 Full Review Bill Arceneaux Moviegoing with Bill Crestone is absolutely engrossing and undeniably unclassifiable, and it may be the first purest play of and on cinema to kick off the 2020s. Rated: 5/5 Feb 17, 2021 Full Review Abby Olcese The Pitch It would be a cool experiment if we didn't know these guys were real people pursuing their dreams in squalor. With that knowledge, Crestone sometimes feels slightly exploitative of the subjects. Apr 24, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
