Neil Genzlinger New York Times Several scenes are in danger of being unintentionally comic. Dec 4, 2014 Full Review Tomris Laffly Film Journal International In the joyless, experimental Billy Bates, writer-director Jennifer DeLia tackles the many miseries of the artistic process to insufferable effect. Dec 3, 2014 Full Review Calum Marsh Village Voice Despite proving thoroughly ridiculous, it remains an unabashedly self-serious film Nov 25, 2014 Full Review Morgan Rojas Cinemacy The movie is a giant question mark with no answer, much like the literal wording of the script.

Audience Member Terrible story line, jumpy and senseless cinematography, slooooooowwwwww and boring. It is 119 minutes long and you could cut 100 minutes and get the same from it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
