Drew Gregory Autostraddle Stumm forces us to sit in each moment, the audience never knowing whether we’re about to laugh or cry or both. Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Matthew St. Clair Cinematic Words of a Chaotic Gemini (Substack) A profound demonstration of an artist's turbulent life crisis with assured direction. Rated: B Oct 3, 2024 Full Review Vadim Rizov Filmmaker Magazine Throughout, Stumm demonstrates his adeptness for bringing comedy back to the arthouse, where it’s mostly sorely missed. Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Chris Cassingham In Review Online Stumm’s aesthetic sensibilities may lean toward the cool and distant... Thankfully, his actors counterbalance these tendencies, and come to represent that intangible thing in the film we might call soul. Sep 15, 2024 Full Review Giovanni Lago Next Best Picture “Sad Jokes” is a film of fleeting moments, like the brief amusement heard from an actual sad joke itself.
