I received this movie as a Netflix DVD, it was next in my queue. It kept my interest and I couldn't guess the plot or the outcome. There is very good character development, there is lots of time to get to know each person. Overall, it is a story of people trying to find their own way.

It's a good movie, and Gilio is definitely talented given that he wrote, directed, and did a great job starring in it.

when the film works (i.e. rich komenich's performance as emil) it's fantastic but where it falters, such as annie's decision to help dee dee, a decision no one would even consider let alone opt for, it's borderline moronic. but on the whole it's a decent film about characters that desperately want to leave where they are but never actually get to going.

Roger Ebert

Chicago Sun-Times

Blindsides us with unexpected humor and sadness, and is one of the unsung treasures of recent independent filmmaking.

Rated: 3.5/4

This is the debut feature for Columbia College graduate Gilio, and it shows great promise.

Film Threat

By turns infuriating, charming, wistful and annoying, Kwik Stop winds up a touching, if frustrating film.

Rated: 3/5

Gilio does some interesting things with his direction, but his strength comes in his very believable scripted dialogue and his acting
