Numerous mishaps befall a would-be actress (Bonnie Loren) who has arrived in New York to do a screen test for a legendary director (Mario Van Peebles).

Slant Magazine

Tied to a Chair mostly suffers from a sense of confusion that never reads like bona fide experimentalism, just aimlessness.

Rated: 1.5/4

I won't mince words: The would-be comedy "Tied to a Chair" is a chaotic mess.

New York Times

Insulting several nationalities and most of the filmgoing public, "Tied to a Chair" lurches through acting atrocities, continuity glitches and narrative gaps with grating insouciance.

Rated: 0/5

Film Journal International

A potentially interesting premise is squandered by disappointing execution in this micro-budget indie comedy.

This movie is a perfect "sit on the edge of your seat" comedy. Very seldom do you have a film that gives power to a beautiful woman who doesn't fit in the "leading lady" age group. I give Ms. Loren a huge applause for her performance.

Charming, disarming and beguiling. Whether you are looking for a romantic comedy, intrigue, slapstick, or an adventure movie about terrorist attacks, Tied to a Chair fits the bill. Yes, this film covers quite a bit of territory. Bonnie Lorenâ(TM)s superb portrayal of a very fascinating woman will capture your imagination and your heart. Michael Bergmannâ(TM)s creation makes for an attention-grabbing, out of the ordinary movie going experience. I am not surprised to read that this film and the leading lady have garnered awards for this unconventional and delightful undertaking.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
