“The film … is by turns swaggering and sentimental, cocksure and callow.”

- ROGER MOORE, MOVIE NATION

“Amy Westcott’s costuming, especially intricately designed for the background actors, brings the flamboyance of the era to life without falling into the trap of overzealous nostalgia.”

- TOMRIS LAFFLY, FILM JOURNAL 

“A look at the American Dream that cuts through the bullshit to show what the term truly means outside of false promises.”

- JARED MOBARAK, THE FILM STAGE

About the film:
