- 42ConsequenceDan CaffreyConsequenceDan CaffreyIt’s fine if Hannah and her ragtag team just set out to make something fun. But it feels better-suited for playing on a reel-to-reel projector in someone’s basement than at the biggest film venue of SXSW.
- Paradox is choppy and directionless, better seen as an experimental concert film that attempted to do something more ambitious than the average music video.
