”Sennott is sensational, mapping out the fractured defense mechanisms of a person who’s only comfortable expressing herself through comedy and dark jokes, suddenly stuck in a situation that really isn’t funny anymore. In fact, she’s so good you’ll find herself getting angry at the movie for undercutting her work with the pointless jigsaw puzzle structure.” – North Shore Movies, 06/14/2024
“Ashby’s melancholy sex farce about a habitually horny hairdresser and the comings and goings of California girls is a Restoration comedy transplanted to Beverly Hills. This bawdy tale of musical beds has a gossamer touch hiding a heavy heart. It’s a lot of silly screwing and running around until the last shot of the film sneaks up on you, packing an unexpected wallop.” – Crooked Marquee, 06/14/2024
”While it feels gross to discuss a young woman’s directorial debut with comparisons to her famous father, it appears that as far as handsomely shot hooey with a side of treacly humanism goes, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. I kept wishing The Watchers had been more stylistically distinctive from her dad’s work, so I could feel like a better ally.” – North Shore Movies, 06/07/2024
”Scrappy, confrontational and blessedly unconcerned with respectability politics, these pictures came from a community in crisis. They’re often furious documents, raging against societal and government indifference to a plague that’s powerfully felt even in the films where AIDS is never explicitly mentioned. Celebrate Pride month with six of these trailblazing titles.” – WBUR’s Arts & Culture, 06/03/2024
