A surprisingly disturbing story with some genuinely hilarious moments and mostly great performances, it loses steam after the hour mark but it's still entertaining the entire way through. Very inspired by the Coen brothers but unfortunately never quite reaches the same…

The Death of Dick Long

Damn that was great! 2nd time viewing it but I totally forgot how much I loved this especially after knowing what you know. This film is nothing but second hand cringe. While also being genuinely funny and gut wrenching. Virginia Newcomb was incredibly as was Michael Abbott. 9/10

You brace yourself for a numbing catalog of stupidity — the title isn’t exactly encouraging — and are instead greeted by amusement, suspense and a curious aftertaste of sweetness and melancholy. You might even call it grace.

Daniel Scheinert’s film finds a very human vulnerability lurking beneath the strange and oafish behaviors of its male characters.
