| Baret NewsKam WilliamsRising star Clara Mamet makes a memorable writing and directorial debut with this semi-autobiographical coming-of-age tale where she also plays a suicidal teen struggling to find her place in the world. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleTwo-Bit Waltz is watchably imitative, arch nonsense. It has committed performances — including a deadpan turn on the edges by William H. Macy as the dad who's only seen reading books — and the occasional, provocatively funny line of dialogue. |
| Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreIt’s no surprise that a Child of Mamet should have a clever way with a line and wicked sense of when to drop some tasty profanity. But Two-Bit Waltz is amateur theatrics committed to celluloid, a cast of “adorable” eccentrics performing scenes with the precious, remedial chapter titles. |
| User ReviewMichele KFunny ,original ,definitely thinking outside the box comedy. The actors were terrific as well. Loved it ! |
| User ReviewJoshua LIts a story of a weird girl done by a weird girl- and well. Its ok, if you don't enjoy this movie. It probably just means you can't relate. However, Clara Mamet does an excellent job seducing and confusing us the way life can for adolescent girls everywhere who are dancing around 'the box'. |
| User ReviewMatthew SWhile Clara Mamet's filmmaking debut hints at some potential, but it is hidden within a film cluttered in borrowed styles and eccentricities. With a cast like this, she might have been able to get away with it if had applied just a bit of depth or realism. The film that starts with a few amusing moments, but it takes a fast jarring turn to bland, obnoxious and completely unoriginal. What must be noted is Clare Mamet's use of language in the construction of dialog. As the daughter of a masterful playwright, you can't help but notice. |
| User ReviewIljosa DIt was like watching a student film. Poor acting, poor filming. The music was surprisingly good. Skip this one. |
