Leave your thoughts about Pickings.
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinThe visually arresting, wickedly entertaining crime drama Pickings marks an impressive narrative feature directing debut by Usher Morgan, who also wrote, edited and produced. He's a talent to watch. |
| Village VoiceApril WolfeI wish Morgan had put as much care into the script as he did into his inventive, illustrative style. |
| Film ThreatHunter LanierThere are occasional moments of inspiration, stylistically and thematically, where the movie hints at its true potential. But most of the time, the movie is tripping over its desire to be noticed. |

| User ReviewLee MCombining two of the great genres of cinema is not an easy feat, and though Morgan's film is uneven, it is at least an indication that he could be someone to look out for in the future. |
