“Spinning together with Rumpelstiltskinian skill, such disparate interests as technological paranoia and deep-felt concern over the quality of mental health care in America, Tim McCann’s strong second feature, Revolution #9 looks with fresh eyes at a new millennium… A highly assured, ambitious pic located somewhere between the loopy fantasy of David Cronenberg’s Videodrome and the harsh sterility of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest… McCann’s instinctive camera-eye burnishes nearly every exchange with a Cassavetes dynamism…  Superlative performances.”
Scott Foundas, VARIETY

“McCann creates a throbbing, nightmarish atmosphere grounded in images of collapse and disintegration… This is expressive filmmaking, aided by electric, emotionally attuned performances (including a great turn by Spalding Gray)… 
It is a shock to the system: precise, moving and gripping.”
Patrick McGavin, CHICAGO TRIBUNE

“We need movies like Tim McCann’s Revolution #9, an unadorned, unsparing chronicle of a young man’s descent into a nightmare of delusion… McCann has a keen eye for the more benign delusions that beset modern urbanites… Essential.”
A.O. Scott, THE NEW YORK TIMES

“This sharp, passionate feature is chillingly good.”
Jonathan Rosenbaum, CHICAGO READER

“Harrowing… part paranoid thriller, part Cassavetes drama.”
Anthony Kaufman, FILMMAKER MAGAZINE
