Notes on an Appearance Ratings & Reviews
Filmmaker Magazine
Vadim Rizov
...consistently clipped editing keeps the tone fluid: humor is in the cuts, and the film is never needlessly dour, deliberately refusing to dutifully find its way to a neatly summarizable Statement About The Zeitgeist.
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
D'Ambrose is clearly a filmmaker to watch, whose ideas and musings, much like Bresson's, are inexorably tied to film form in such a way that finds emotional truth through stylistic distance
amNewYork
Jordan Hoffman
We're in deep, art house territory, but not without a sense of humor.
The Playlist
Christian Gallichio
Despite [its] flaws, Notes on an Appearance illustrates a confident director who leans heavily on his own idiosyncratic style, something that can't be faulted too much.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rob Thomas
"Notes on an Appearance" feels constructed like a maze with no exit.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Zero-budget experimental minimalist thriller.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
D'Ambrose conjures a vast imaginary world of intellectual intrigue in tiny, antic touches, which provide the context for a febrile drama of youthful ambition and frustration.
Reverse Shot
Nick Pinkerton
A small, curiously enticing movie with the aspect of a game about it, a deceptively simple looking game with only a few moving pieces, though you'll have to muddle through without the instruction book
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
If Mr. D'Ambrose doesn't quite earn his pretensions, it's refreshing to see a filmmaker thinking so far outside the box.
The Film Stage
Ryan Swen
This is a feature debut that proceeds with a forthright intelligence, moving in the exact thrilling and wonderfully bewildering manner that D'Ambrose wishes.
Village Voice
Danny King
Notes on an Appearance relays a narrative teeming with incident - death, disappearance - through an elusive yet methodical style.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
This tale of a young man who goes missing in Brooklyn has some intriguing moments and a unique visual style, but it proves far too elliptical to be of much more than academic interest.
