Mule Skinner Blues Reviews
Apollo Guide
Jon Lap
Stephen Earnhart's documentary is a decomposition of healthy eccentric inspiration and ambition - wearing a cloak of unsentimental, straightforward text - when it's really an exercise in gross romanticization of the delusional personality type.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
As amusing as it often is, it is even more affectionate.
Oregonian
Shawn Levy
It will make you think twice about what might be going on inside each trailer park you drive past -- even if it chiefly inspires you to drive a little faster.
Offoffoff
Joshua Tanzer
Beanie's a big believer in appreciating the art in your own neighborhood even if it isn't backed by a multimillion-dollar budget - and so am I.
New York Post
Megan Turner
Boisterous and daft documentary.
Newsday
Gene Seymour
Watching Beanie and his gang put together his slasher video from spare parts and borrowed materials is as much fun as it must have been for them to make it.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
It might be tempting to regard Mr. Andrew and his collaborators as oddballs, but Mr. Earnhart's quizzical, charming movie allows us to see them, finally, as artists.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
Has all the poignancy of a Hallmark card and all the comedy of a Gallagher stand-up act.
Filmcritic.com
Rachel Gordon
A treat for its depiction on not giving up on dreams when you're a struggling nobody.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Stephen Earnhart's homespun documentary Mule Skinner Blues has nothing but love for its posse of trailer park denizens.
Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
The charms of willful eccentricity, at least as evidenced by this latest cinematic essay, are beginning to wear a bit thin.
Village Voice
Josh Goldfein
By the time we learn that Andrew's Turnabout Is Fair Play is every bit as awful as Borchardt's Coven, we can enjoy it anyway.
New Times
Luke Y. Thompson
We get some truly unique character studies and a cross-section of Americana that Hollywood couldn't possibly fictionalize and be believed.
TV Guide
Frank Lovece
This is as powerful a set of evidence as you'll ever find of why art matters, and how it can resonate far beyond museum walls and through to the most painfully marginal lives.
Reel.com
Pam Grady
What emerges is not only a portrait of some of the more colorful denizens of Mayport, Florida, but also a moving examination of the power of art to transform lives.
Orlando Weekly
Steve Schneider
It's easy to forget the film's flaws when we're in the presence of Beanie.
Chicago Tribune
Though director Earnhart has yet to find the ironic distance, sharp interviewing techniques or creative editing of documentarians like Chris Smith ... and Errol Morris ... Mule Skinner Blues suggests he is on the right track.
