      Peter Keough Boston Globe How exhilarating, and exhausting, it must be to wake up every day and be Kevin Barnes. Rated: 3/4 Jun 19, 2014 Full Review Robert Roten Laramie Movie Scope While Kevin Barnes, and the band, are different in some ways from other musicians and bands, they are also similar in a lot of ways. This is a slightly above average musical documentary, not very different than many others in this genre. Rated: C+ Feb 2, 2015 Full Review Paul Bullock Under the Radar Jason Miller's fantastic new documentary ... presents a frank, complex portrait of an artist who has been pushing the limits of his medium for almost two decades. Rated: 8/10 Jul 31, 2014 Full Review Jamie S. Rich Oregonian Laced with plenty of performance footage, "The Past" peels back the curtain on one of the strangest--or some might say most pretentious--music collectives currently going. Rated: 2.5/5 Jun 20, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
