On the edge of a nervous breakdown, Maxwell is shocked to find he’s inherited a sloth sanctuary from his father. When a talking sloth then visits his dreams, Maxwell becomes obsessed with saving the animal's habitat in his waking life by returning to his first passion, music. In order to complete the task though, he must enlist the help of his lazy brother and self-involved sister. Songs for a Sloth is a film about the struggle to be both the person we want to be and the person we feel responsible to be, and about coming to know that it’s never too late to pursue one's dream in life. It’s also about live video games, secret paintings, viral videos, social media influencing, paintball, fancy banquets, and drones.

Tara McNamara Common Sense Media While Songs for a Sloth isn't likely to change anyone's life, many will appreciate watching someone else's catharsis. Rated: 4/5 Jun 21, 2021 Full Review Chris Salce Film Threat Songs for a Sloth is unique and serves as a love letter to independent filmmaking with all of its risks. Rated: 8.5/10 Jun 16, 2021 Full Review Josh Bell Crooked Marquee The three main actors are charming, and the songs are catchy enough to leave you longing for a full-on sloth musical. Rated: B Jun 8, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Really liked it. B+/B. Funny, moving. Sometimes I'm wary of movies with music (why are these people singing?), but it worked in this one. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
