Leave your thoughts about How Heavy This Hammer.
| New York TimesGlenn KennyWhatever investigation it’s attempting, the movie is leaden in its pacing — the first 15 minutes feel like an hour — and its constricted shooting style, practically all hand-held almost close-ups, is transparent in its contrivance of realism. |
| Toronto StarPeter Howell[A] drama that watches what happens when adolescence ignores the calendar. |
| Brooklyn MagazineAdam CookHow Heavy This Hammer seems to be driven sincerely by human compassion and curiosity, and firmly establishes Radwanski as one of Canada's best working filmmakers. |
| Seventh RowMary Angela RoweCanadian director Kazik Radwanski's sophomore feature How Heavy This Hammer is a sympathetic yet unsentimental portrait of contemporary masculinity in crisis. |
| Cinema ScopeAngelo MureddaIn just two features and several shorts, co-conceived with producing partner Dan Montgomery, Radwanski has proven himself a gentler, Southern Ontarian answer to Dardennes-style social realism. |
| The Blue LensesAlexandra Heller-NicholasIn his tale of repressed game-addicted dad Erwin (Erwin Van Cotthem), Radwanski looks not for a simple tabloid scapegoat, but digs deeper into what drives a middle-aged, middle-class man to near-paralysing regression. |
| Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeVan Cotthem's performance is wholly convincing, which might not be something to brag about, and the film flatlines right along with him. |
| 4:3Ian BarrRadwanski's depiction of Erwin's ordinariness is so concentrated and intense to the point that we're led to see nothing but ourselves in his predicament. |
