“A hilarious skewering of the shallowness of the movie industry and the paranoia and mistrust that afflicts the guilty. Cummings and McCabe’s film touches a raw nerve with sharp, funny, awkwardly prickly provocation.”
– Rodrigo Perez, The Playlist

“Indie-movie triple-threat Jim Cummings (Thunder Road), along with his co-writer and co-director PJ McCabe, have delivered a seriously dizzying, unnerving conspiracy thriller.”
– David Fear, Rolling Stone
