"(A)n instant holiday season counterclassic"
Richard Brody, The New Yorker
"(A)mong the most striking and original American films to emerge in some time… There's never been anything like it. Frequently funny, oddly touching, and featuring a virtuoso lead performance by veteran indie actress Anna Margaret Hollyman, White Reindeer charts its own strange course toward the sublime."
Calum Marsh, Village Voice
"It’s as if (Douglas) Sirk and John Waters had collaborated, with Fassbinder as an A.D. But make no mistake, it is Clark’s own vision, manifest in a Technicolor-like palette, some over-the-top props and costumes, perfectly timed editing, clever use of fades, fine acting, snappy dialogue, and some hilarious music."
Howard Feinstein, Filmmaker Magazine
"With a mixture of pathos and dry wit, Clark delivers a solemn twist on the holiday movie formula that simultaneously inhabits the genre and turns it inside out… Imagine Home Alone as directed by Todd Solondz and you'll start to get the idea."
Eric Kohn, IndieWire
"(A) wonderfully crafted film that's both full of laughs and full of heart… Clark hits his notes just right, telling an extremely entertaining story."
