The story proper is, unfortunately, all over the map, and further hampered by the constraints of its means. But in newcomer Amy Blomquist, director Zendel has plucked a winner.

Reviews for Controlled Chaos
1 - 8 (sorted by comments)
Often bumpy, naïve and erratically acted, static just where Mr. Stone's work, whatever you may think of it, is undeniably energetic.

Top CriticThe only real-life situations the movie evokes vividly are the circumstances of its own production: underrehearsed actors in hastily staged scenes speaking page after page of awkward expository dialogue.
06/12/03
A film that is too often merely tedious.

Top CriticIt's hard to tell whether film school grad Zendel thought she was crafting a new-millennium Sunset Boulevard, but what results is more like the cultish morass of Showgirls in its camp dramatization of a poisonous entertainment milieu.
06/05/03
Though professionally produced on a micro-budget, Azita Zendel's ambitious writing-directing debut is undermined by an awkward script and some very amateurish acting.
06/05/03
Apparently Zendel was too busy noting Stone's eccentricities to learn anything about directing.
06/06/03
Plays like a bad daytime soap opera.
