It's a measure of the film's dramatic balance as well as its emotional integrity that both of these men will wind up eliciting the viewer's sympathy and scorn at different points.

Hammer to Nail

Writer/director J. Davis plays his debut film for pathos. And he pulls it off like gangbusters.

Fan The Fire

The film is gently funny, if a bit too slow, but the bizarro story line takes it to unexpected places and doing something different in the film industry right now is a much needed thing.

Rated: 3/5

Daily Dead

It's rare that anything associated with Charles Manson can put a smile on your face but J. Davis' confident debut does just that, making for a surprisingly sweet and thought-provoking cinematic journey.

Rated: 4/5

Interesting premise, but poorly executed in all areas. Don't waste your time.

One-of-a-kind family dramedy. Combines the story of two brothers' struggle for reconciliation with one of the squirmiest twists in indie film history. Nothing like it.
