Reviews

Enjoyable Drama and Well Acted

"Really enjoyed this family and cultural drama. Great writing by young and talented film maker. Didn’t realize that main actor was not even Jewish and did an amazing job in the portrayal. Highly recommended!"

— Adam S. (5/5)

Hilarious Crowd Pleaser

"This is one of the funniest films I've seen. Made all the better by being only an hour and twenty. The dialogue is extremely sharp. Bolstered by show stopping performances from Rachel Sennott. A crowd pleaser? Not sure if thats the best description but I was in the crowd. And I was pleased."

— Logan S. (5/5)

Great watch

"Excellent film and transfer. The slipcover is beautiful for the edition."

— Brett C. (4/5)

Excellent anxiety cinema

"Anxiety-inducing a la Safdie bros, but with a more overly humorous tone. Amazing stuff, I wish it was longer but I'm not sure how much more I could take! Fantastic artwork for this release, and I love the poster as well."

— Tony H. (5/5)
