5.0 out of 5 stars Movie Review From Pulp Movies, May 21, 2010

4 Stars from Pulp Movies

Pulp Movies is an excellent website run by Paul P. out of Belgium- a nice compendium of all the genre filmmaking going on worldwide. Which makes it all the more exciting that Pulp Movies gave ALTAMONT NOW 4-stars! A little taste here...

Such an approach is not without its risks but writer/director Joshua Brown has managed to pull together a cast that is strong enough to make this work. All of the actors put in very solid performances and, although they are all stereotypes expressing clichés, you get a very strong sense that these are fully rounded stereotypes who really do believe in their clichés.

Special mention, though, has to go to Daniel Louis Rivas' utterly charismatic performance that manages to walk the very fine line between parody and slapstick. It is a great testament to Rivas' portrayal that, while I really did not like Richard Havoc at all, I was also very keen to know what was going to happen to him.

Also deserving of a mention is the soundtrack with which a variety of underground bands manage to generate a truly anarchic atmosphere and give the film a feel that sits somewhere between being a music documentary and an exploitation film.

Altamont Now is a very effective satire of the self-indulgent posturing and angsty whining of a bunch of wannabe rebels who are at a complete loss for anything to rebel against. This is an all-too familiar target and one that Brown gleefully and brilliantly skewers.
