Movie Reviews

The New York Times - 9/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisBig Words is an engrossing, coming-of-middle-age drama that shows how disappointment can fester and derail a life. By the end, hope and change seem possible but far from guaranteed.
Variety - 9/10 by Ronnie ScheibThe dialogue — natural, vibrant and totally embedded in the moment, never sententious or showoff-y — is delivered with consummate believability by an excellent cast.
Moveable Fest - 8/10 by Stephen SaitoHowever, what's more impressive is how "Big Words" slips in major ideas about middle age, work, race, and gender politics into its narrative with ease.
AALBC.com - 8/10 by Kam WilliamsA poignant portrait of a very eventful day in the lives of a trio of African-Americans too self-absorbed to care about the fact that Barack Obama was about to win the Presidential Election that night.
Shadow and Act - 8/10 by Vanessa MartinezNeil Drumming's Big Words is an engaging, entertaining and clever film about passion and nostalgia
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Mark OlsenDrumming is able to swing from lighter comedic moments to dramatic insights while making it seem effortless.
Indiewire - 8/10 by Eric KohnBig Words at times seems like it's heading towards a microbudget version of "Hustle and Flow," but Drumming aims for a much smarter and subdued look at the various regrets and hang-ups haunting men of a certain age. Their blackness is only one piece of the puzzle.
Village Voice - 7/10 by Ernest HardyDrumming doesn't quite have the skills to finesse the varying tones demanded by his textured script...and he could have taken one more pass on smoothing out character arcs, which are too truncated to be believable in a few cases. Still, the ensemble cast is fantastic, and Drumming is a talent to watch.
The Hollywood Reporter - 7/10 by Frank ScheckMarked by incisive characterizations and fine performances, Big Words is aptly titled, referring not only to the name of one of its lead characters but also to the torrent of dialogue driving its skimpy but evocative narrative.
User Review - 8/10 by Lee MFull of ideas on art, politics, relationships, and the construction of identity, it's that rare film in which black characters aren't amped-up caricatures.
