While IndieWire's Kristen Lopez cautions that Plainville "too often falls into the Hulu trap of simply reenacting, presenting the facts and little more," she also finds it, at times, "dreamy, disturbing, and impeccably acted by Fanning and Ryan." Variety's Daniel D'Addario also notes some imperfections, particularly in its bloated runtime and how it handles the courtroom scenes (a complaint echoed in Consequence by Danette Chavez), but also admires the performances and the show's "careful and sensitive approach to a challenging story." And in a B+ review at The Playlist, Emma Fraser sees a "captivating" series led by Fanning's "uncanny" performance.Ĭomedy/Drama/Sci-fi | USA | Directed by Colin West Colton Ryan, Chloë Sevigny, and Norbert Leo Butz also star, while Lisa Cholodenko ( The Kids Are All Right) directs multiple episodes, including the opener that screened at SXSW to a mostly positive reception from critics (which has since grown into a more enthusiastic response as additional reviews have come in).

Using 2D and 3D animation along with the rotoscoping technique he brought to theaters in A Scanner Darkly and Waking Life, writer-director Richard Linklater takes us on a journey through his childhood in Houston during the summer of 1969, when a man walked on the moon for the first time.
