Jonathan Romney Film Comment Magazine Chalk is an exciting rediscovery-a crackling, nervy gem from what now seems like a very distant era. Jul 29, 2019 Full Review Dave Kehr New York Times [Suffers] from excessive sentimentality and the film finally fails to escape the conventions of the Hollywood cinema it so proudly deplores. Rated: 1.5/5 Jan 13, 2007 Full Review Peter Stack San Francisco Chronicle Chalk has unusual visual vitality in a John Cassavetes vein. For the adventurous, it's worth checking out. Rated: 3/5 Jan 13, 2007 Full Review Edvins Beitiks San Francisco Examiner An impressive low-whistle, hardscrabble look at the world of pool sharks and the people who crisscross their lives.
