Leave your thoughts about The Big Shot-Caller.
| NewsBlazeKam WilliamsAn absolutely-appealing little gem of an indie, leaving this critic curious to see whether Ms. Rhein's sophomore offering will be anywhere near as satisfying. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfShot-Caller is more of a kissin' cousin to Napoleon Dynamite, with delayed, deadpan performance beats that crackle with dried irony and deliberate oddity, performed by a cast of amateurs. |
| Monsters and CriticsRon WilkinsonA methodical and thoughtful film that provides food for thought but will be too slow for most audiences. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenThe characters' quirks lend The Big Shot-Caller a certain authenticity, and it is easy to empathize with Mr. Rhein's Lonely Guy in the City. But this minuscule indie variation of "Saturday Night Fever" moves only in fits and starts. When it ends on a cautiously upbeat note, you feel that you have seen just the stumbling first act of an unfinished drama. |
| Boxoffice MagazineMatthew NestelThis film, about a wallflower that finds himself through Salsa dancing, warrants a short-not a feature film. |
| New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierToo many threads are woven together here, but occasionally, it just connects. |
| Hollywood ReporterEric MonderIt is hard to see how "The Big Shot-Caller" will catch fire with audiences. From its awkward, ambiguous title to its lack of charismatic performers, this minor drama doesn't have many commercial prospects. |
