NOHO LA MAGAZINE
“Fascenating to absorb and compelling to contemplate”
eFILMCRITIC
“Rarely have emotions rung as true as they do in this film”
THE NUMBERS
“Like a passionately scribbled diary entry, this phantasmagoric tale
brims with all the heartfelt spiritual bewilderment and deep thoughts
that only a teenage girl would, or could, voice.”
CHICAGO TRIBUNE
“Engaging and provocative, this film asks us to reconsider
the adolescent experience from a perspective that is sincerely youthful,
marked by a candid admission of the unknown, an optimistic determination
to find fulfillment, and rarest of all, a critical examination of the morals
and mores that are foisted upon young people today.”
WORCESTER MOVIES
“In a world of increasing disconnection, Purgatory House gives that disconnection a palpable reality. It is as raw and challenging as adolescence itself.”
ECLIPSE MAGAZINE
“One of the most honest, most powerful, most revealing teen movies ever”
FLICK FILOSOPHER
“Purgatory House contains a creativity scarcely seen in multiplexes...
A provocative, creative film that explores sensitive subject matter skillfully.
THE CINEMATIC VERSES
“Amazing! Truly like no other film that has been done before.
This could have a profound effect on teenagers”
Martha Frankel, Celebrity Journalist
“A well-written and superbly directed movie.
The look of the film, both gritty and otherworldly spoke volumes and added more
depth to the film. This insightful independent production is a must-see.”
FATALLY YOURS
“Purgatory House sets out to show a ‘very unique’ view of
life, death, religion, and love and actually does!...
Movies like this are hard to come by. It has a certain wit and style that you really don’t find elsewhere, and a unique way of looking at important topics and presenting them in an interesting and engaging way.”
