FILMS IN REVIEW

charming, touching, clever and all-around brilliantly
crafted film.”
FILM THREAT
“Original
and unforgettable.”
-ENTERTAINMENT INSIDERS
“Imaginative
and deeply touching”
NOHO LA MEGAZINE
“Fascinating
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
“Bold, unabashedly artsy, fearlessly original, and nothing less than 100% provocative, “Purgatory House”
is one of the wildest, freshest films
that I have seen in a long time."
INDIETALK.COM
“"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 FILOSPHER
“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."
JACKASS CRITICS
“An
excellently constructed...sophisticated, inventive feature.”
LA INDEPENDENT
“An
exceptional work.”
GRAND RAPIDS PRESS
“One
of the best films about troubled teens that I have ever
seen.”
Terry Keefe, Editor-at-Large, VENICE MAGAZINE
“A
remarkable piece of filmmaking.”
CREATIVE SCREENWRITING MAGAZINE
“
It is refreshing to see someone take a chance on being different.
A more refined script or production would have ruined this film completely.
This film deserves to be watched and owned."
