Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com The director's gifted collaborators sometimes perk up this listless parable, but never enough to sell its second-hand fatalism. Rated: 2/4 Apr 2, 2021 Full Review Ignatiy Vishnevetsky AV Club In Funny Face, [Sutton] puts everything in movie-movie-ish scare quotes-a self-defeating approach for a paean to urban authenticity. Rated: C+ Apr 2, 2021 Full Review Chris Barsanti Slant Magazine Tim Sutton is a deft cartographer of how environments can shape its inhabitants. Rated: 3/4 Mar 28, 2021 Full Review Josh Parham Next Best Picture The storytelling moves at a listless pace and never finds one invested in any of the stakes or motivations. Rated: 4/10 Jun 5, 2022 Full Review M.G. Mailloux In Review Online Funny Face can be appealing in the moments where it luxuriates in mood and the South Brooklyn landscape, but ... too often punctured by stabs at explicit (shallow) commentary. Jun 6, 2021 Full Review Yago Paris El antepenúltimo mohicano Ultimately the tonal mismatches destroy Tim Sutton's best ideas.

Audience Member Dumpster fire bad! Even worse. Nomadland bad! Worse movie I've ever watched. Wife asked me to turn off after first 5 minutes. Constant filming of nothing. Walking. Staring. Laying down. Sitting. No dialogue. Just constant B roll worthy effort. What a waste of life. Skip this one the reviews are a complete lie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member it looks a little funny Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member To call this a film, let alone a good one, is an insult to cinema and an even bigger insult to art house/independent films. This is my first review on RT and I made this account specifically for this film. BEWARE. The title and the brief synopsis spell tension. Thriller. Excitement. Slow burn even. Well surprise, there is none of any of it. This is supposed to be a revenge flick but no one is ever killed, hurt, or even inflicted with an harm whatsoever. A 90min borefest. The awful one note score/music will drive you mad. The pointless overextended camera scenes of nothingness will also drive you mad. The only bright spot is the amazing performance by the lead actor. Bravo, but even that couldn’t save this film. I gravitate towards indie films but this...NO THANKS! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/01/21 Full Review dan c A interesting story, and great performances, wasted with bad direction, and incoherent plot. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member meh film is all i have to say Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
