Dull and very manipulative, Wes Schlagenhauf Is Dying is the worst type of filmmaking with a COVID-19 theme. Viewers will have a hard time caring about the self-absorbed cretins at the center of this insipid comedy.

Wes Schlagenhauf Is Dying is the best example of what a COVID comedy shouldn't be.

While there are moments that work & the cast has a lot of chemistry together, Wes Schlagenhauf is Dying never reaches its story or comedic potential.

Movies about moviemaking can be truly special. They can also be as utterly lifeless, as is, unfortunately, the case with Wes Schlagenhauf is Dying.

It's that closeness — and the down-to-earth portrayal of three young, creative, and at times incredibly selfish guys — that turns the film into light-hearted yet curiously relevant (and not too problematic) entertainment. Full review in Spanish.

It’s pretty clear that Wes Schlagenhaug is Dying was intended as a kind of calling card film, but this is one number you’re going to want to lose.

Beautifully shot and acted, heartfelt and most important- funny. It's rare to see a film where the lead actors who are suppose to be "best friends" actually feel like it. There's so much chemistry it's impossible to watch not feel like you're best friends with these guys. The story moves with no fat to be found… funny sequence after funny sequence in a plot that felt fresh. I haven't quite seen a film like this before. Go check it out!
