REVIEW SPOTLIGHT
Fresh Tomato Review from Annie Kermode
"Everything hinges on Blane's performance. Open and emotional and in-your-face as it is, there's more depth there than first meets the eye.”
Fresh Tomato Review from Rich Cline
“He may be a dork, but his pure intentions make even his most transgressive behaviour seem innocent...It's also disarmingly entertaining to follow Mark on this odyssey.”
-Shadows on the Wall
Fresh Tomato Review from Norman Gidney
“Mark Blane has John Cameron Mitchell’s warm understanding and faith in the goodness of people”
-Film Threat
Review from John Paul King
“Taken all together, the characters create a portrait of humanity comprised of broken, uncertain souls mustering all they have to rise to the task of facing their daily life. On paper, it sounds pretty bleak; on film, it manages to be empowering...it has a voice of its own that is not quite like anything else you’ve ever seen – and there are very few films out there today, Indie or otherwise, that can lay claim to that.”
-Los Angeles Blade
