Little White Lies

It captures the artistry, ingenuity and humor of its subject better than an encyclopedic history ever could – a music doc for whom success, in the spirit of Pavement, looks very different.

Stephen Saito

Variety

While passion didn’t necessarily appear to be part of Pavement’s persona, Perry feels obliged to overcompensate... It’s impossible not to be won over by the director’s efforts.

Brad Hanford

Slant Magazine

Alex Ross Perry’s Cubist portrait finds a fitting balance between reverence and mischievousness.

Rated: 2.5/4

Sean Burns

WBUR’s Arts & Culture

A sharp-elbowed movie that conjures the same sensation I often get when listening to Pavement, like there’s a part of the joke I’m not in on.

Alan French

Sunshine State Cineplex

Pavements takes their controversial oddity further than ever before. The result is a wild ride for two hours, one that seems to defy structure and storytelling at every opportunity.

Rated: 8/10

Connor Lightbody

Screensphere

If Perry is aiming for a film that embodies the very agitation that Pavement strived for, he can count the ironic Pavements a success
