Rating: 3.5/4 -- Frownland is like a shriek for help. It centers on an extraordinary performance that plays like an unceasing panic attack. To call it uncompromising is to wish for a better word. Full Review

Rating: 1/5 -- It looks like a Cassavetes or Allen film from which malign aliens, in the course of a sinister experiment in brain-depredation, have somehow sucked out every scintilla of mojo, fun or energy. Full Review

Written and directed by Ronald Bronstein, making his feature-film debut, this is personal cinema at its most uncompromising and fierce.

Rating: 2.5/4 -- It's impossible to watch this grotty, sometimes unbearably undisciplined yet genuinely tragic movie and not think about the first films directed by John Cassavetes and Paul Morrissey.

Rating: 4/4 -- Imagine a less upbeat Taxi Driver remixed mumblecore style. Full Review

Product Description:

A return to the rugged aesthetics of 1970s independent cinema, FROWNLAND plumbs the life and neuroses of a young New Yorker, Keith (Dore Mann), and his failures to communicate. Devoid of plot, and relying largely on Mann's array of tics, stutters, and mumbles, this grainy, do-it-yourself film is sure to divide audiences with a portrait of life that is by turns hopeless and comic.
