3.5/4
Blindsides us with unexpected humor and sadness, and is one of the unsung treasures of recent independent filmmaking. Go to Full Review John Petrakis Chicago Tribune 10/10/2002

This is the debut feature for Columbia College graduate Gilio, and it shows great promise. Go to Full Review Film Threat 12/06/2005

By turns infuriating, charming, wistful and annoying, Kwik Stop winds up a touching, if frustrating film. Go to Full Review Jon Popick Planet S Magazine 05/31/2002

Gilio does some interesting things with his direction, but his strength comes in his very believable scripted dialogue and his acting Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jackie H 03/30/2024 If you love a movie about love & relationships.? Well, I am not sure if this is it.. However, it's absolutely weird and if felt so right.. P.S. I love you Ruthie.. See more 12/21/2020 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. See more 09/09/2014 i enjoyed the story and the odd adventure the characters have ha...it only gets better as it goes on..its deep and funny. See more 05/30/2010 It's a good movie, and Gilio is definitely talented given that he wrote, directed, and did a great job starring in it. See more 08/02/2009 i liked this one will watch it again and tell my friends to check it out See more 05/20/2009 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.
