"Without a doubt, the best film at SXSW 2009 was writer-director David Lowery's lovely, lived-in, slow-burning debut feature St Nick"- Aaron Hillis, Green Cine Daily

"This is a film that keeps going – in your head as you think about what was going on, in the car on the way home as you talk about what may have really been going on." - Tom Maurstaud, The Dallas Morning News

"...a stunning film." - Flavorwire

"...the film matures from a study of actions infused with a quiet magic, to a study of inaction, of waiting and drifting telegraphing an increasingly palpable sense of fear and dread." - Karina Longworth, Spout.com
