It is hard to see how "The Big Shot-Caller" will catch fire with audiences. From its awkward, ambiguous title to its lack of charismatic performers, this minor drama doesn't have many commercial prospects.
Hollywood Reporter
Fortunately, musicvideo vet Rhein's competent helming skills counterbalance her off-putting dialogue and flat acting style so that the pic...doesn't come off strictly amateur.

Variety
Yet another entry about a lonely person discovering him or herself through dance. Though bittersweet and nicely made, Marlene Rhein's feature offers nothing new.

Rating: C --
Shot-Caller is more of a kissin' cousin to Napoleon Dynamite, with delayed, deadpan performance beats that crackle with dried irony and deliberate oddity, performed by a cast of amateurs.

Too many threads are woven together here, but occasionally, it just connects.

Rating: 3/4 --
Rhein's screenplay is witty and original, never taking the expected path and nimbly avoiding cliches and narrative pitfalls.

You have to wonder about a debut this self-involved: What's left for the second film?
