Bill Weber Slant Magazine 01/20/2009
2/4
Baldwin took a similarly fanciful history-mining approach for Tribulation 99, but Mock Up on Mu is more than twice as long and determinedly more obscure. Go to Full Review
J. Hoberman Village Voice 01/14/2009
Baldwin's narrative is not easy to follow"the tone is simultaneously hysterical and uninflected"but, as with any religion or conspiracy theory, his method is characterized by a logic beyond logic. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
By turns absorbing, confounding, exhausting and altogether stranger than most fiction, Mock Up on Mu, comes close to defying categorization. Go to Full Review
Christopher Long Movie Metropolis 05/01/2010
9/10
Packs in a hard-core lesson in film history along with its ingeniously deranged story of science, sex magick, and corporate conspiracy. Go to Full Review
Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid 01/07/2010
Another amazing, amusing sociopolitical rant, disguised as a cheesy science fiction film. Go to Full Review

3/5
Reads like the love child of Jean-Luc Godard's Histoire du Cinema and Carl Reiner's Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid. Go to Full Review

07/20/2009 either this film was utter genius or a huge pile of self-indulgent crap...i'm still undecided, all i can say is that it is one of the strangest films i've ever seen (and that's saying a bit) that made absolutely no sense and inspired 9 people to walk out of the screening i was working at. maybe best left for the sci-fi geeks, but 2 stars for quirkiness and devil-may-care "filmmaking" See more 02/21/2009 An experiment in Collage Narrative. Some chapters really worked and I hope Craig keeps honing the format. See more Read all reviews
