New York Times

Amid the familiar personality quirks, airy loft setting, glowing cinematography and orchestral score, the toxicity of Astor's narcissism and frustration leaps out.

Film Threat

Sadly, what could have been the next Tiny Furniture gets so wrapped up in its own narcissism that it falls flat with a dull thud.

Rated: 2/10

A brilliant take on narcissism and a total lack of self-awareness.

Caustic, cynical and clever, this funny takedown of the LA dating scene is a richly satisfying indie gem.

Rated: 9/10

Movies in Focus

A dark and somewhat bitter dramedy, director-writer-star Adam Christian Clark's Newly Single is a punchy character piece that really draws you into its orbit.

Rated: 4/5

Shadows on the Wall

It's a superb combination of writing, directing and acting. And each of the costars brings an equally messy personality to his or her character.

Rated: 4/5

I tried, but the dialogue was so clunky and narcissistic (including the characters who weren't intended to be the focus of narcissism), that it didn't seem worth the effort to finish.

Central male character (Astor) was extremely off-putting, especially in contrast to women he interacted with. Valerie's convictions presented challenges but came off as sympathetic. His interaction with Belle was heartbreaking. In just a few scenes, Alexandra Skye managed to evoke an open, affectionate likable person whom he abruptly cut off. A more sympathetic character, still flawed, facing the same challenges, would have made for a much more compelling story.

Weird, uncomfortable, and both in kind of an amazing way.

Dark, cynical and pointless. Definitely not entertaining. Seemed like time I'll spent. Character in movie is toxic and movie feels heavy and unrelenting. No added value if the movie is not entertaining nor brings any new insights, why spend your precious time watching it.

This movie was very enjoyable to watch. Itï¿ 1/2(TM)s true to the reality of being broken hearted and trying to keep your head above water. A candid depiction of online dating. The landscape is mostly Astor letting his instincts go array while trying to comfort his insatiable need for validation. I highly recommend this movie as it is truly a magnificent work of art.
