| Film ThreatMark BellIts familiar elements are rendered in noteworthy fashion, and the film stands as a strong example of the noir and mystery genres it plays in... |
| VarietyRonnie ScheibAlthough the film wears its dated genre affectations on its sleeve, the script avoids pretension, its hero’s believably alienated exhaustion overriding mere nostalgia. |
| Village VoiceZachary WigonWhile Eberle's execution falls short, the scale of his ambition can't help but stir admiration. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisA mildly engaging lowlife odyssey that struggles not to choke on its own style. |
| It's Just MoviesRon WilkinsonShot in take-you-downtown-and-sweat-it-outta-you black and white, this noir took guts, and sometimes guts is all it takes. |
| User ReviewGFA_JA great independent film that uses a mix of classic and modern film conventions to give a new spin on the film noir genre. I saw this movie at Cinema Village in New York, and was surprised at how strong it was, especially after the Times complained of how cheap it was. The music and cinematography, and the lead performance we all first rate. I recommend this film to anyone tired of the same old indies. |
| User ReviewteacherninjaThe best part of the NYT review was: "More high homage than actual movie, “Cut to Black” is nevertheless weirdly diverting, mostly because of the impressive black-and-white cinematography of James Parsons. Delivering a saturated aesthetic that manages to transcend the film’s tonal inertia and restricted budget, Mr. Parsons gives life to cold flesh and bleak dialogue. His talent, and Mr. Eberle’s depressed performance, gradually win you over" because I've met Mr. Parsons and know how hard he works on his stuff. |
