THOM ANDERSEN: “Matt Thompson and Ryan Andres may be losers according to the standards that prevail in their hometown of Newhall, California, but after seeing them in Jason Tippet’s documentary portrait, I loved them–and I began to worry about their prospects in a society that can’t show them a productive end for their wonderful energy and curiosity. What more can you ask of a documentary movie?”
