Movie Reviews

Big Easy Magazine - 10/10 by Bill ArceneauxThe finest, funniest, and most cryptically thoughtful film on the subject (of ableism) that I've seen in this or any year.

Vague Visages - 10/10 by Tanner TafelskiAlthough a little shapeless, with the narrative lagging at times, thereby softening its impact, Chained for Life is a fine sophomore feature.

Film Inquiry - 10/10 by Alistair RyderThere are some bold, provocative ideas at play here - they're just in need of a film with far more urgency around them.

Birth.Movies.Death. - 10/10 by Leigh MonsonThis vicious satire of Hollywood disability representation forces you to differentiate empathy and pity.

Moveable Fest - 10/10 by Stephen SaitoIt's the beauty of the ideas that resonate most, resulting in a most satisfying conclusion.

Slashfilm - 10/10 by Sarah FoulkesMasterfully directed by Aaron Shimberg, Chained for Life is a wonderfully funny and empathetic meta-commentary, a behind-the-scenes drama in the style of Cassavetes' Opening Night and Truffaut's La Nuit Americaine.

AV Club - 9/10 by Katie RifeThe script's showbiz satire shows occasional flashes of savage brilliance, and the meta aspects are thoughtfully composed, if occasionally self-indulgent.

Birth.Movies.Death. - 8/10 by Andrew ToddYou'll likely come away from it, as I did, acutely aware of your own unacknowledged prejudices -- but that's good. And the movie's great.

Hollywood Reporter - 8/10 by Keith UhlichChained for Life expands on the idea of difference as a humanizing catalyst, and cinema is its playground.

Shadows on the Wall - 7/10 by Rich ClineIs this a black comedy? A romance? Political commentary? Psychological thriller? A rumination about life on a film set? Perhaps it's all of these.
