Name : Lou Lumenick / Alias : New York Post
Fascinating .

Name : Kenneth Turan / Alias : Los Angeles Times
Though their story has taken decades to reach the screen, it has been worth the wait.

Name : Ella Taylor / Alias : NPR
The studio musicians rarely got credit on or off the albums. In The Wrecking Crew, Denny Tedesco, whose father was a Wrecking Crew guitarist, rights that wrong.

Name : Jon Caramanica / Alias : New York Times
Mostly, it's hagiography, with stars like Cher and Brian Wilson used as character witnesses to the players' greatness.

Name : Peter Howell / Alias : Toronto Star
Long on nostalgia, the film does shed further light on the genius of Brian Wilson and the unfair uproar over the Monkees' need for musical backup. Turns out even the Beach Boys required the Wrecking Crew to rock.

Name : Jim Harrington / Alias : San Jose Mercury News
It can be uncomfortable to pull back the curtain on some of the most beloved rock songs of all time. Yet, it's worth it in order to meet The Wrecking Crew.

Name : Alan Scherstuhl / Alias : Village Voice
With a son's love and duty, Tedesco . breezily celebrates the team that laid down a thousand riffs back just before pop became too serious for anonymous craftsmanship.

Name : Wesley Morris / Alias : Grantland
A movie like this feels like a dream challenge for an actor. It lives and dies not sheerly by the writing and the direction of the script, but by the cast's organic adherence to both.

Name : Ignatiy Vishnevetsky / Alias : AV Club
With Bujalski, this is business as usual, but by the standards of the contemporary indie rom-com, it's refreshingly unpredictable and thoughtful.

Name : A.O. Scott / Alias : New York Times
Only toward the end do you realize that the characters have been arranged into a pleasing and familiar romantic-comedy triangle and that you've been watching a beautifully played game of underhand slow-pitch screwball.

Name : J. R. Jones / Alias : Chicago Reader
Sharply funny slacker comedy.

Name : Andrew O'Hehir / Alias : Salon.com
Somebody needs to give Andrew Bujalski a TV series. If "Results," his unlikely but delightful new film set in and around an Austin fitness studio run by hard-bodied Guy Pearce, were a TV pilot, I would be hooked on the show already.

Name : Michael Rechtshaffen / Alias : Los Angeles Times
The rom-com isn't such a lost cause, after all. It was just waiting for someone like indie filmmaker Andrew Bujalski to resuscitate it.

Name : Abby Garnett / Alias : Village Voice
Bujalski knows how to reveal the immaturities and hangups people hide behind money, ambition, and the pursuit of a better body.

Name : Ella Taylor / Alias : NPR
You'd expect Bujalski, who made Beeswax and Computer Chess and a couple of other extreme indies, to poke fun at gym culture, the ultimate soft target. And he does, but sweetly and without disparagement .

Name : Ty Burr / Alias : Boston Globe
What happens when a rigorously non-mainstream filmmaker tries to reverse-engineer a mainstream romantic comedy? The result, in all its charming perversity, is "Results."

Name : Inkoo Kang / Alias : TheWrap
This droll, intelligent farce is most poignant as a portrait of modern alienation that explores how money, service work and self-improvement leave individuals stranded and alone.

Name : John DeFore / Alias : Hollywood Reporter
A perfectly chosen cast sells this unhurried comedy, which flows unconventionally but is still, by a long stretch, the most mainstream-friendly picture Bujalski has made.

Name : Cath Clarke / Alias : Time Out
Like Bujalski's early mumblecore work, this is sensitive and meandering - and just a little bit patience-testing.

Name : Joe Neumaier / Alias : New York Daily News
Writer-director Andrew Bujalski appreciates a grimy basement as much as he does a wide-open highway, and he aims for a slice-of-life tapestry. But he should have simply let Corrigan slouch into nirvana.

Name : Richard Brody / Alias : New Yorker
One of the strangest and strongest of recent romantic triangles forms in the course of this lyrical, fanatically realistic comedy, written and directed by Andrew Bujalski.

Name : Mick LaSalle / Alias : San Francisco Chronicle
There's an absurdist edge, but with nothing of the smart aleck about it. Rather than use wit as a way of bypassing thought and emotion, Bujalski's concerns are serious and his attitude toward his characters is warm without being indulgent.

Name : Linda Barnard / Alias : Toronto Star
Bujalski crafts a quirky romance with fitness-industry comedy Results, shaping flawed characters into people you might just admire.

Name : Stephanie Merry / Alias : Washington Post
"Results" is a smooth transition for Bujalski from the fringes to more commercial work. It's heartening that he didn't give up his calling-card observational humor to do it.

Name : Rex Reed / Alias : New York Observer
A week in the outback without a cellphone would be better than Results.

Name : Moira MacDonald / Alias : Seattle Times
Not a whole lot happens, but you get to know an interesting trio, and leave them feeling satisfied that it was time well spent.

Name : Michael Rechtshaffen / Alias : Los Angeles Times
Director Marah Strauch gives the film an exhilarating uplift of its own.

Name : Simon Abrams / Alias : Village Voice
You may not leave Sunshine Superman wanting to emulate Carl and Jean, but you will feel like you've vicariously bonded with them.

Name : Stephanie Merry / Alias : Washington Post
"Sunshine Superman" might seem like a niche story, with its focus on stunts that most people wouldn't dream of actually doing, but the documentary feels universal. It's simply an examination of how one man fully embraced life while charting his own path.

Name : Dennis Harvey / Alias : Variety
An exhilarating flashback to the life and times of BASE jumping's daredevil popularizer.

Name : Keith Uhlich / Alias : AV Club
The subjects themselves may soar, but the film that contains them remains frustratingly earthbound.

Name : Peter Rainer / Alias : Christian Science Monitor
Boenish's wife, Jean, who trained to jump with him, is interviewed extensively, and, although Strauch doesn't provide much backstory for her, she emerges as that rarity - a perfect matchup to a seemingly unmatchable man.

Name : Walter V. Addiego / Alias : San Francisco Chronicle
The action shots are intoxicating, as close as most of us will get to feeling the jumpers' euphoria.

Name : Chris Nashawaty / Alias : Entertainment Weekly
[A] gripping documentary.

Name : Ben Kenigsberg / Alias : AV Club
If Sunshine Superman doesn't exactly inspire comprehension of the desire to feel like you're "flashing through a 20-story building in one second," it is immersive enough to induce panic.

Name : J. R. Jones / Alias : Chicago Reader
The real-life stunts are eminently suspenseful and exhilarating, and adrenaline junkies will be well pleased. For the uninitiated, however, Strauch's adoring treatment of the Boenishes may be a little hard to stomach.

Name : Katharine Pushkar / Alias : New York Daily News
An informative, if not engrossing, history of a sport.

Name : Molly Eichel / Alias : Philadelphia Inquirer
Sunshine Superman, named for the Donovan song, is about more than just Boenish. It's about the power of the image, something that Strauch uses to great effect.

Name : John DeFore / Alias : Hollywood Reporter

Strauch makes a compelling case for the exhilaration of living, and dying, on your own terms, a freedom so few of us ever truly experience.

Name : Marsha Lederman / Alias : Globe and Mail
Long before there were GoPros, there was Boenish, a camera mounted on his helmet, jumping from Yosemite's El Capitan or L.A. skyscrapers under construction.

Name : Kyle Smith / Alias : New York Post
The exhilarating documentary "Sunshine Superman," which melds gorgeous aerial photography of Boenish's jumps with sublime musical cues, finds in Boenish a kind of poet-adventurer, equal parts pixie and desperado.

Name : Bruce Demara / Alias : Toronto Star
Engrossing, tension-filled and utterly fascinating.

Name : Peter Keough / Alias : Boston Globe
[A] spectacular and affecting portrait.

Name : Erik McClanahan / Alias : Minneapolis Star Tribune
A pretty straightforward account of Boenish's life and tragic death, but man. all those skydiving, cliff-jumping and parachuting shots are really something to behold.

Name : Joe Morgenstern / Alias : Wall Street Journal
The film, like its subject and everyone who talks about him, is frustratingly short on analysis or insight.

Name : Neil Genzlinger / Alias : New York Times
A bittersweet documentary about Carl Boenish, who looked at very tall things and saw an opportunity to leap.
