Leave your thoughts about Cement Suitcase.
| PopoptiqFrank OchiengSuitcase has an off-kilter winning spirit that soars above its quirky pathos. Infectiously witty, irreverent and bouncy, Castaneda's nifty narrative takes a charming approach to spotlight one young man's dalliances in wine and life lessons decline. |
| Film ThreatMark BellVoiceover and other techniques continually break the fourth wall, while other stylistic flourishes create an almost whimsical aesthetic... |
| Critical WomenPrairie MillerA bittersweet when not refreshingly ballsy comedy that isn't especially about cement or suitcases, the film seems inevitably yet another spotlight on the economic plight of youth today. A smartly scripted concoction of sobering and weirdly kooky charm. |
| Christianity TodayKenneth R. MorefieldThe nicest thing about Cement Suitcase is that it allows Franklin some measure of self-knowledge and agency in choosing how to be influenced |
| The Hollywood OutsiderAaron PetersonA fun and clever film with heart and a winning performance from its lead. Cement Suitcase is easily worthy of a taste. |
| User ReviewChristine PHeld my interest, but ultimately unsatisfying. |
| User ReviewRyan Lthis movie was horrible and the main actor in it was unbearable and desperate in his attempt to seem humorous, though failing miserably. there is absolutely zero chemistry between any of the characters and the acting is really poor. there's a lot of "that would never happen in real life" situations making it an even more obnoxious film to watch. just don't waste your time, I only got through it because I was incredibly stoned. |
