Dragonslayer Ratings & Reviews
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Seamlessly dovetailing style and subject, "Dragonslayer," a poetic and affectionate portrait of the professional skateboarder Josh Sandoval, known as Skreech, vivifies a subculture of random hedonism and future myopia.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
In following this scattered character around, "Dragonslayer" director Tristan Patterson makes a very purposeful documentary about the pessimistic worldview of the nation's youth, and what that means for the future.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
With its propulsive punk-rock soundtrack and beautifully rough cinematography, Dragonslayer makes you care about this scrawny young man, skating to nowhere.

... another award-winner that leaves me scratching my head. To me it's a well-executed but minor subculture film, yet it won the grand jury and cinematography prizes at South by Southwest ...
Cinematical
Christopher Campbell
Gorgeous ... see this one on the big screen if you get a chance.

Is Josh "Skreech" Sandoval the least deserving documentary subject ever?
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
The portrait is dispiriting overall, inspiring little affection from viewers, but feels authentic and fair.
Variety
Robert Koehler
Despite a slew of skateboarding films in recent years, each one quite distinct, Patterson's pic arguably comes closest to channeling the culture's punk vibe and youthful abandon, albeit filtered through an outsider's aesthetic.
Austin Chronicle
Cindy Widner
There are parts of Dragonslayer that look like Laguna Beach and others that look like Gummo. Either way, it's a looker.
Village Voice
Karina Longworth
Patterson's one-of-a-kind hybrid captures a socio-historical moment with the kind of charged authenticity that only comes from a willingness to embrace contradictions: It's discursive and hypnotic, laconic and urgent.
indieWire
Eric Kohn
Departing from the conventions of documentary portraiture, "Dragonslayer" delivers the cinematic equivalent punk rock candy.
IONCINEMA.com
Jordan M. Smith
Dragonslayer authentically portrays Sandoval in all his adrift glory while seeming to blur the lines of what a doc can be with effortless craft.
Hollywood Jesus
Ed Travis
The dragon effects are fantastic and the monster really becomes an integral character in the story. The film has great practical effects and more heart than studio films generally crank out...
Los Angeles Times
A youth culture backdropped by the crumbling edge of California is rendered with punk rock energy and grace.
