Duck Butter has a pair of compelling leads and a refreshing female-driven perspective, but its story is ultimately too thin to support a feature-length production.

Just like what Naima and Sergio are doing, the movie is itself an impulsive, fleeting relationship experiment with mixed results. April 27, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

As appealing as Shawkat and Laia Costa are, the material isn't strong enough to captivate for the full 90 minutes the way it does during the first 30. April 27, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

The movie is almost entirely conceptual. It's not one for the history books. Still, it left such a warm spot of admiration in my heart after it was all said and done. September 11, 2019 | Full Review…

Shawkat, who co-wrote the screenplay with Arteta, is winsome and appealing. Costa's Sergio sometimes plays the cliche of the exotic foreigner with expansive dramatic feeling, but the chemistry between the actresses carries the film through. October 21, 2018 | Rating: B | Full Review…
