Adam Mullins-Khatib Chicago Reader This isn’t a miraculous tale of pulling oneself up by the bootstraps, but a glimpse of how life’s circumstances can drive us to take the most desperate and destructive of actions. Sep 12, 2024 Full Review Bee Delores B-Sides & Badlands Even with meager resources, the filmmaker jolts you awake and makes you pay attention—delivering a necessary reality check when it comes to race, complicity, and mental health. Rated: 3/5 Oct 16, 2024 Full Review Paz O'Farrell ScreenAnarchy Mickey Hardaway is about the toll that abuse, effort, and unfortunate circumstances can take on someone. This type of narrative about artists is usually reserved for white characters. Aug 13, 2024 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film The acting is strong all round and there's some beautiful cinematography, mostly in black and white – all of it to a point. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 12, 2024 Full Review Patrick McDonald HollywoodChicago.com This deeply resonate film is such that I cannot recall a black therapist treating a black client in a story about confronting dysfunctional turmoil. Despite story issues, what is important in filmmaker Marcellus Cox's debut is his ardent plea for sanity. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 10, 2024 Full Review Sarah Vincent Sarah G Vincent Views Cox consistently balances humanizing and sympathizing with monsters without excusing them—a rare gift.

The acting in the film is phenomenal I especially love the performances of David Chattam, Stephen Cofield Jr and Dennis LA White.
