Variety Review: ‘Paradox’
Variety
Think of it as a piece of anti-nostalgia. “Paradox,” a waste of time made bearable only by its brevity, plays like a bad acid flashback from the 1970s, a time when similarly self-conscious trippy pastiches of rock music and genre conventions proliferated on the midnight-movie circuit. Think of “Zachariah” or “Rainbow Bridge,” no matter how hard you’ve tried to forget them, and you’ll have some idea what awaits you here. And if you’ve never seen those films, well, consider yourself fortunate. You might do well to keep your lucky streak going.
