IN THE PRESS…
“A shot of John Waters recklessness to a national cinema that has rarely behaved this badly since Man Bites Dog.”
— Variety
“Definitely promising”
“The Guit brothers’ first feature does offer a glimpse at unique, new voices attempting to push boundaries (buttons?) in filmmaking.”
“A feverishly propulsive energy and snappy runtime ensure Mother Schmuckers has the potential to become a shamelessly demented cult fave.”
