NEW YORK/LOS ANGELES/CHICAGO/TORONTO (2 Reviews)
Andy Webster, New York Times: VERY GOOD "The Irish narrative tradition of the bleakly hilarious is honored with gusto... graced with appealing performers and laced with agreeable poison.... Mr. FitzGibbon shows nimble dexterity with underlighting, damp exteriors and dank, squalid interiors."(See all of Andy Webster's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 330 words, 01/01/10
Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice: GOOD (NOT GREAT) "Mark Doherty and Dylan Moran have some good banter -- as when they belatedly discover Mark's cuckolding through text messages -- but monotony sets in as nothing comes up to elevate 'A Film' above passably distracting corpse-disposal comedy."(See all of Nick Pinkerton's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 214 words, 12/30/09

Leslie Felperin, Daily Variety: EXCELLENT "...gleefully cruel.... As a black comedy, the script is admirably merciless... However, pic's success is mostly due to Mark Doherty and Dylan Moran, both in the comedy zone but showing just enough proper acting chops to generate sympathy."(See all of Leslie Felperin's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 660 words, 06/30/08
