  • Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid

    Gives us a working relationship in progress rather than the usual Hollywood sitcom.

  • Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice

    A thematically rich exploration of a May-December relationship.

  • Michael W. Phillips, Jr., Goatdog's Movies

    I admire the filmmakers because they steadfastly refused to tack on a Hollywood ending.
