Tim Brennan About Boulder Rub doesn’t quite work, but it’s not for lack of trying. Director Christopher Fox has made a true independent film, one with a small budget and large ambitions. Aug 21, 2023 Full Review Q.V. Hough Vague Visages “A strong feature debut like ‘Rub’ suggests that the writer-director doesn’t need fancy equipment or multi-million dollar budgets to sustain a successful filmmaking career.” Aug 7, 2023 Full Review Robin Holabird Robin Holabird Rub struck me the wrong way. Aug 3, 2023 Full Review Stacey Yvonne Stacey Yvonne Creative Neal blames Perla for every bad decision that he’s made. Ultimately they both suffer, but there’s no resolve which makes the film that much more frustrating. Rated: 2/5 Aug 3, 2023 Full Review Alejandro Turdó Hoy Sale Cine Rub's existential love story combines multiple genres to paint a painfully accurate picture of modern day unhealthy work enviroments, bulling, abuse and the inherent violence that lives in us all, just waiting to burst out. Rated: 8/10 Aug 2, 2023 Full Review Tony Asankomah GhMovieFreak With a few rough edges, "RUB" manages to leave a lasting impression and serves as a testament to the boundless possibilities of indie filmmaking. Rated: 6/10 Aug 1, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Anthony O Just saw this on Tubi! Rub delivers a gripping blend of passion and peril, reminiscent "True Romance." This indie gem captivates its raw evocative storytelling. The chemistry between the leads sizzles, elevating the high-stakes narrative of love and danger. Stunning cinematography and a haunting soundtrack immerse viewers in a world where every glance and touch carries weight. A must-watch for fans of the genre, Rub proves that indie filmmaking still has the power to enthrall and excite. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/07/24 Full Review Stevie D Sick flick. Plot twists. stellar lead performances. Hot xxx. cool score. cinematog was sweet. - polarising material... Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/07/23 Full Review Thomas S Far out and trippy. Loved it ! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/04/23 Full Review John H This movie follows the main character as he attempts to meet women, before finally resorting to hiring a woman for sex. At first, my heart broke for the guy, as there are plenty of people in pain over their loneliness and need someone to share their life with. As things spiral out of control, I thought he had found his girl and would rise to the challenges he was facing. It was here that the main character's flaws appeared and eliminated most if not all my sympathy. He suffers from an enormous deficit of masculinity that proves his undoing. The two main characters are able to act fine, but many of the other actors aren't that impressive. It was an "ok" movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/02/23 Full Review Amadi G "RUB" is not just a crime thriller; it's an exceptional cinematic experience that will grip you from the first frame to the very last. Director, Christopher Fox and the entire cast and crew have crafted a film that is nothing short of a masterpiece in the genre, setting a new standard for suspense and intrigue in cinema. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/08/23 Full Review Tiberio S Can't believe how well Chris Fox was able to pull this off with the most minimal resources. Everything is shot in our local area, yet he rearranges it to have its own geography, the one of his imagination. He has truly reinvented guerilla filmmaking. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
