Leave your thoughts about Glass Chin.
| VarietyPeter DebrugeBetween [Buschel's] script and Stoll's performance, "Glass Chin" finds fresh humanity in a seemingly exhausted genre. |
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumChris BumbrayIt's a truly nifty little neo-noir gem that deserves to find an audience. |
| Entertainment WeeklyDevan CogganIt's Crudup who steals every scene, whether he's waxing philosophical about the benefits of iCloud or blackmailing Bud with a charming, unsettling grin. |
| The DissolveMatthew DessemMost of the time, the way to hit the big target is to aim as precisely as possible at the small one. That’s what Noah Buschel does so well in his new film Glass Chin. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckDespite its impressive formalistic rigor, the film fails to connect on an emotional level, with even the tragic ending failing to move us as it should. |
| The Young FolksAllyson JohnsonIt's a little unnerving, filled with some tension, and it jumps of the screen. |
| Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreGlass Chin is a boxing picture with very little actual boxing. |
| Slant MagazineChris CabinThe story wisely focuses on the cast's worn-in and jazzy repartee and expresses a perfectly modulated sense of self-awareness. |
| New York Magazine/VultureBilge EbiriSo it's a good thing the film has that cast, and Stoll in particular. He’s the main reason to watch Glass Chin. And not coincidentally, he’s often quiet. |
| MetroMatt PriggeIt's compact and stripped down, but it contains multitudes. |
