Kristin Tillotson Minneapolis Star Tribune The characters in this short-'n'-sweet documentary are straight outta "Fargo," in the best sense. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 31, 2014 Full Review Bill Graham The Film Stage Delightfully charming, the major flaw in the film is its length. Rated: B- Jun 7, 2016 Full Review John Gholson Birth.Movies.Death. By being about a competition, even an unusual one, Wicker Kittens gets a big injection of sports movie vigor. Mar 17, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member So much fun! Totally engrossing sports documentary... about competitive jigsaw puzzling. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Wicker Kittens is a regional culture documentary of competitive jigsaw puzzling that would be better if edited down to 30 minutes. The sound is problematic because the music is toxically intrusive and is thematically/stylistically inappropriate hard rock fingernails on the blackboard--totally out of whack! Where is the polka music, the Barbershop quartet, the Sweet Adelines, the Dixieland band, the ballpark electric organ, the carousel music, the and/or other local thematic music contest/performance sound mix? Even Bach would be appropriate at times. The characters are interesting and the visual exploration of puzzle collectors is an eye-opener. This film could rate above a 2 if the sound could be remastered thematically and make the dialogue intelligible throughout. I could imagine Wicker Kittens on the Minnesota Public TV "Independent Lens" with the changes mentioned above. As is, you may want to turn the sound down or off and make up your own dialogue. Reviewed at the Frozen River Film Festival in Winona, Minnesota on Feb. 21, 2015. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Captures the innocence of obsession, friendship, competition and midwestern values. It's also a blast to watch.
