Bruce Ingram Chicago Sun-Times 24 Exposures comes across like a clever idea that never got past the concept stage. It might have been fun for him to make, but it's definitely a chore to sit through. Rated: 1/4 Feb 7, 2014 Full Review Ben Sachs Chicago Reader Some half-baked ideas about representation versus reality emerge in the lax improvised dialogue. Feb 6, 2014 Full Review Matt Zoller Seitz RogerEbert.com Is Swanberg pre-empting complaints about his methods by making a film about an artist who is, if not a killer, then at least creepy and unreflective? Maybe, maybe not. But the question will only interest people who follow Swanberg's career. Rated: 2/4 Jan 24, 2014 Full Review Patrick Bromley F This Movie! This is Joe Swanberg's De Palma movie, simultaneously laying bare and indulging in his obsessions. Oct 31, 2019 Full Review Pat Padua Spectrum Culture Why do so many indie movies treat women like this? Aug 31, 2018 Full Review Ethan Vestby The Film Stage Yet if, like said before, Swanberg keeps "chiseling" away, he'll maybe, one day, shape his masterpiece, no matter how much hard material there is to still get through.

don s Terrible indie suspense movie built around a photographer with a fetish for creating photos of death. The story is boring, with many threads going nowhere and ending in the most ironic way - a character trying to sell the story as a novel and being told that the story is not interesting enough nor does it tell a complete story. The movie producers should have listened to the book publisher's advice. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Things occur in this film, but a plot never coalesces. The events never feel like they are propelling in any particular direction. It felt like the first 15 minutes of a film stretched into an hour and 10 minutes and then a climactic scene that comes out of nowhere and is essentially the climax of nothing. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This was very disappointing. While I think the premise had lots of potential, the final product just seemed like a chore to watch. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Big fan of indie film and thought this was an interesting concept, unfortunately, the execution was terrible and lacks enough substance to support the paper thin story. There really is no plot, the story seems built around supporting an art imitating life imitating art theme, but without any compelling or even interesting arguments presented. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Improvised dialogue can work wonderfully if the actors have a solid feel for their characters, but everyone here seems rushed and uncomfortable. I say SKIP IT!!! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Some great ideas and interesting concepts that are just not successfully explored. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
