Jim Cummings, who wrote, directed and acted in the film deserves a pat on his back as he manages to channel out a very assured, matured and understated character sketch of a broken man on the verge of mental breakdown. September 26, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Small-town police officer Jim Arnaud powers through a firestorm of flayed emotions while paying tribute to his late mother. Overwhelmed by grief, he is awkward, scatty, tragic and ridiculous. June 23, 2019 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review…

Wonderfully offbeat, this is a thrillingly unique exploration of grief and a raw portrayal of despair and the strange forms it can take. A tour-de-force which needs to be seen. June 5, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
