Leave your thoughts about Two Step.
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenThis lean character-driven movie has such an acutely observant screenplay that it is easy to empathize with people struggling to make a decent living by hook or crook. Its psychological precision elevates it to something more than a genre piece. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleGiving flair to the inevitable and imbuing those stakes with emotional heft are key to this type of patiently nasty, slow-boil noir. That Johnson understands this makes his feature debut a particularly confident and enjoyable one. |
| The PlaylistDrew TaylorDeeply human, full of dread simmering just beneath the surface and quietly unsettling. |
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenA zig-zagging, free-associational genre item that's mostly concerned with stretching the generally narrow tonal rules of what a thriller can be. |
| Entertainment WeeklyKyle AndersonWriter-director Alex R. Johnson’s feature debut uses Southern Gothic simmer to heat up what is otherwise a typical gun-and-bag-of-money crime tale, though Hébert’s terrifyingly electric performance keeps the heat turned up enough to make the bloody climax feel like relief. |
| VarietyGeoff BerkshireThis character-driven picture takes its time marinating in quiet conversations and Austin atmosphere, making the sudden jolts of violence all the more shocking when they land. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckBesides his sure gift for incisive characterizations and acerbically witty dialogue, Johnson also displays a strong visual sense, with the film shot and edited for maximum effect. |
| Village VoiceSerena DonadoniExtraordinary ordinariness is Two Step's saving grace. |
| ObserverRex ReedOverwhelmed by bad country-western ballads, Two Step is flawed but it makes you laugh and cringe at the same time, and passes 90 minutes painlessly. |
| User ReviewalwayswatchingThis is the perfect type of movie for me. An indie movie with great story, great performances, and great cinematography. I cannot ask for more. I cannot wait to see what Alex R. Johnson does next. |
