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.
