THE HUMBLING
“A micro-budget labor of love for Pacino and his pals, the film was shot incrementally in twenty days over the course of three months, mostly in the director’s own house. Screenwriters Buck Henry and Michel Zebede have stripped away the ickier elements of Philip Roth’s dirty-old-man fantasy while ramping up the droll, dark comedy of indignity at its core.” – Movie Mezzanine, 02/05/2015

GIUSEPPE MAKES A MOVIE
“I’m not sure I’d ever want to sit through one of Andrews’ movies — though it uncharitably crossed my mind more than once that they look roughly as professional as Joe Swanberg pictures and are probably way more interesting — but watching him make one is an unexpectedly lovely experience. There’s a real generosity of spirit behind these scenes.” – Movie Mezzanine, 01/15/2015
