Linda Barnard Toronto Star 06/09/2015
2.5/4
Suresh John hits all the right comic notes as driver Sly while Ramsay nicely captures Jon's nave, fish-out-of-water confusion as he navigates the unfamiliar world. Go to Full Review
Ben Kenigsberg New York Times 06/04/2015
While the results are more creepy than charming - too childish for adults, though not necessarily too dark for children - it is hard to fault Mr. Goodwill for trying. Go to Full Review
Charles Bramesco The Dissolve 06/04/2015
3.5/5
Patch Town has just enough laughs, imagination, and sincerity to follow through on its naked bids for cult adoration. Go to Full Review
Indra Arriaga Anchorage Press 06/20/2017
The tension required for the story to succeed never reaches a height, it fizzles out. Patch Town has good ingredients but they never reach their sazn, leaving them unable to transcend beyond cabbage soup. Go to Full Review
Prairie Miller WBAI Radio 07/09/2015
Factory noir rears its head, when it comes to corporations, consumerism and the destructive pursuit of objects of materialistic desire. As the cabbage plant working stiffs in a different sort of scary movie, become the assembly line products themselves. Go to Full Review
Chris Knight National Post 06/05/2015
3/4
It's hard not to find something to love in a film that mixes elements of Toy Story, Bad Santa, Russian folklore, Cabbage Patch Kids and Les Miserables. Go to Full Review

Ari V 02/08/2024 So absurd (not in a good way), it gets unintentionally interesting for a few moments. See more 10/18/2015 Lighthearted, fun and unique. See more 09/12/2015 A unique movie that I'm glad I stumbled upon. A musical love story that was quite enjoyable. Original premise and well acted. A little gem of a movie. See more 08/26/2015 A strange movie that is equal parts Will Farrell comedy, musical, and flat out insanity. Easily could be suggested as a Christmas Movie if you were deranged. Still, watch this movie. It's too bizarre not to. See more 08/25/2015 An interesting tale based around urban folklore. See more 08/24/2015 Very unique and odd film...... Really enjoyed it See more Read all reviews
