Reviews for Chalk
An impressive low-whistle, hardscrabble look at the world of pool sharks and the people who crisscross their lives.
Chalk has unusual visual vitality in a John Cassavetes vein. For the adventurous, it's worth checking out.
In Chalk, the writing is all on the wall, but its outline can only be seen in artful smudges.
