	Harvard Gazette: Independent eye
		Hartley's use of irony and exaggeration bordering on the grotesque have caused some critics to label his films as cynical, a characterization that he finds puzzling.
		Hartley says the people at Zoetrope were not thrilled by his decision to dismiss monster movie conventions so cavalierly, but he also says that his decision to put the monster on screen without all the usual creepy foreshadowings and triggerings of the audience's startle response is one of the most Hartleyesque aspects of the film.
		Hartley may try on a Hollywood genre or two, but he is bound to tailor its conventions to his own abiding concern with the human predicament.

	Hal Hartley: The Last Auteur
		Hartley was selected by French television’s La Sept Arte as the sole American participant in its prestigious "2000 Seen By" film series and was tapped by the Salzburg Opera Festival for a major staging of his play Soon.
		Festival awards for his screenplays at Sundance and Cannes bear witness to Hartley’s gift for quirky characters, lively dialogue, and wry humor: his films are all immediately identifiable by the deliberate cadence to his actors’ delivery and the strange normalcy that cloaks even the most eccentric turns of his plot lines.
		Setting forth what is perhaps the apex of Hartley’s uncanny misalliances, Amateur convenes an ex-nun-cum-pornographic-novelist (Huppert), an amnesiac hustler (Donovan), and his prostitute wife (Löwensohn) in a roundelay of trouble and desire as each tries to escape from the illicit sex-and-drugs demimonde of lower Manhattan.

	The Ensemble Sospeso - Hal Hartley
		Another distinguishing feature of Hartley’s films is their highly stylized form: his characters’ speech is terse and repetitive, and their movements and gestures are tightly choreographed.
		Hartley had planned to use the money to make a feature film, The Unbelievable Truth, in sixteen millimeter (he had never intended to buy a computer), but those plans changed after Brownstein told him he would raise enough money for a thirty-three millimeter film if Hartley would first come up with a reasonable budget.
		Hartley submitted his budget, and Brownstein came through with an investment of more than fifty thousand dollars, giving Hartley a total of about seventy-five thousand dollars for the production of his film.

		Hal Hartley is a director that often evokes strong emotions from his work.
		Hartley's relationship/true-faith monologues tend to disengage from the elaborate spatial set-up, constantly reiterated in the visuals, which reveal a very contemporary insight - characters often pinned into corners or against walls, but they seem comfortable that way, retreating ever so slightly from a threatening world.
		Hartley and his remarkable Director of Photography Michael Spiller rigorously work the same carefully defined, two-or-three - point perspective within a shallow space (Hartley frequently shoots with Bresson's lens of choice, the 50mm), and punctuate it with sudden inserts.

		Hal Hartley is a quirky but genuine talent who has made his mark as an award-winning independent filmmaker.

		Hartley's deadpan, episodic narrative style would seem to betray the influence of Jean-Luc Godard, though his camera is less experimental, his comedy more assimilable and his politics less overt.

	Flirt . Memphis Flyer . 08-04-97
		Anyone who is familiar with Hal Hartley knows that he has one of the most distinctive cinematic styles of any American filmmaker.
		His dialogue is formal, and he demands from his regular stable of actors and actresses not so much acting as near-deadpan recitation, which lends to his work an air of theatrical distance and abstraction more common among European auteurs.
		The first vignette -- set in New York and featuring Hartley regulars, including the always perfect Martin Donovan as a jilted husband -- introduces the love-triangle-plus-gun plot in the director's typical dry, offbeat style.

		Hal Hartley's films have long featured nuanced speech patterns; his characters often seem to be speaking in spite of each other rather than at or to one another.
		Admittedly Hal Hartley is at his most experimental and self-indulging here but the film is still an absolute joy in his typical deadpan and drole look at personalities and relationships.
		This is my favourite Hal Hartley film just because it's so unique.
