Joe Leydon Variety By repeatedly upending expectations and shifting tones, writer-director Clay Liford keeps his audience keenly fascinated and anxious throughout "Wuss." Mar 13, 2016 Full Review Andy Webster New York Times "Wuss" may be slight, but Mr. Liford's sense of pitch is spot on. Rated: 3/5 May 2, 2013 Full Review Inkoo Kang Village Voice A witty black comedy with sociological aspirations that hits unexpected emotional marks while nimbly sidestepping clichs. Apr 30, 2013 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com While Liford's latest isn't a bad film, it fails at being either memorable or noteworthy, hindered most by a script that seems to flounder with direction. Rated: 2.5/5 Jun 28, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Clay Liford's WUSS sets us up. The movie begins as if we are about to watch a crass spoof an all too familiar genre. Just as we think we know exactly what we are in for he quiet cleverly catches us off-guard for where he and his gifted cast lead us. While Liford touches a number of familiar genres, he is not content in fully committing to any of them. In many a writer / director hands this would lead to a banal and unfocused film. But this writer / director has found an effective way to push us into some of our culture's darkest challenges. WUSS is at times funny, unsettling, menacing, crude, confrontational, provocative and tragic. At no time did any aspect of this movie feel false. And, at no time was I not entertained. The only errors to be found are in the way the movie has been "marketed" and titled. There is so much more going on in this movie than you suspect. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
