Vanderbeek, Arthur Lipsett, and Robert Nelson. Release Mock Up on Mu premiered at the 2008 San Francisco International Film Festival. It was screened at the New York Film Festival in 2008. Critical reception Manohla Dargis of The New York Times wrote that the film was "absorbing, confounding, exhausting and altogether stranger and more rib-ticklingly funny than most fiction". In his review for Slant Magazine, Bill Weber described Mock Up on Mu as "clever-to-a-fault" and "determinedly more obscure" than Baldwin's previous works. For Time Out New York, Joshua Rothkopf remarked that "it's nice to see Baldwin's still got fire…[but] even on Mus own terms, Baldwin has been more savage and clever elsewhere." Dennis Harvey of Variety magazine said that the "visually, sonically and subtextually dense" nature of the film was challenging but that "assimilating its internal logic actually makes repeat viewings more enjoyable." J. Hoberman spoke favorably of Baldwin's editing style, stating that his "liberated film fragments generate their own charge," and said that although the "narrative is not easy to follow…as with any religion or conspiracy theory, his method is characterized by a logic beyond logic."
