Tater Tot & Patton Reviews

Tony Macklin
Tater Tot & Patton is a niche, indie film.

Jackie K. Cooper
Jessica Rothe makes her performance stand out in this slowly unwinding relationship story. It just evolves over time with no aha moments.
HighDef Digest
Deirdre Crimmins
The complete lack of nostalgia and romanticism, along with the measured drama, make the emotional beats feel honest.
Phantom Tollbooth
Marie Asner
Along with the two main actors, there is the cinematography by Peter "Per" Wigand that is a third actor in their scenes, and music by Garth Stevenson that is the fourth actor. This quartet makes the movie come alive.
La Movie Boeuf
David N. Butterworth
"Tater Tot & Patton" is a sublime character-driven piece, lovely to look at and excellently played (by Jessica Rothe and Bates Wilder)
Orca Sound
Carey-Ann Pawsey
I was totally engaged in the slow paced, largely quiet and personal film that was unfolding before me. One of those rare times where I did not feel time pass.

Brian Orndorf
Kightlinger uses the stillness of his locations to mine some real heartbreak, finding interesting drama along the way.
Film Inquiry
Adam Mock
With Tater Tot & Patton we are given an odd, slow burn with endearing performances and a lesson to be learned.
Screen Queens
Chloe Leeson
Here Kightlinger creates a quiet and subtle take on addiction and familial bonds. Its rural location adds a sense of vastness and beauty that heightens emotions and allows sole focus on its actors.
The Pop Break
Marisa Carpico
Still, despite a labored moment or two in the writing, Tater Tot & Patton is a thoughtful, melancholy movie about grief.
PopMatters
Katherine Murray
Because it's such an earnest, grounded film, in terms of both script and performance, the casually sexist premise is impossible to avoid.

Ian Thomas Malone
Tater Tot & Patton exhibits much of the typical fare you'd expect from the indie genre, but the film finds a quiet sense of grace in its minimalistic narrative.
Movie Nation
Roger Moore
A vivid sense of place -- South Dakota -- and a winning, subtle turn by Jessica Rothe are the strong suit of this character dramedy.
AWFJ.org
Loren King
Grief in all its messiness, especially as experienced by a middle aged man, is the heart of this sparse, moving indie.
Suddenly A Shot Rang Out
Lauren Humphries-Brooks
Tater Tot & Patton is a good example of what can be achieved with a small cast and a director with a clear, cogent eye for both character and mis-en-scene.
Cinemania
Dan Jardine
Writer/director Kightlinger is to be commended for choosing a low-key approach suitable to the material, while guiding his actors to follow the lead of his script and direction.
Cultured Vultures
Andrea Thompson
Unfortunately, it's too committed to the usual indie routines to really give us something new.
