Joe Lipsett

The Queer Gaze (YouTube)

An extremely fun and clever riff on both buddy comedies, as well as indie queer films, Leung and Xu have a lived-in friendship that makes them a delight to watch, even in the film's slight moments.

Rated: 4/5

In some ways, it’s a stoner movie, but it goes a lot further beyond your average Pineapple Express comedy to approach something more profound.

Shadows on the Wall

This is an energetic, enjoyably messy portrait of a lifelong friendship. And it marks Xu and Leung as actors and filmmakers to watch.

Rated: 3.5/5

Paste Magazine

It’s a film about the transitory periods of life, the ending of comfortable status quos and the disintegration of relationships that may only have been held together mostly by convenience.

Rated: 6.8/10

Eye for Film

Not everything here is successful, but the delicately handled character material pays dividends, and the real life chemistry between the two stars carries across well to their characters.

Rated: 3/5

Next Best Picture

The theme of friendship is strong here, and, in turn, we can all see ourselves in a story about how film brings people closer together.

Rated: 7/10
