FEEDBACK

 

” Balderson just doesn’t make simple films, and this is no exception. It’s not in the words, or the plot or the story; but it’s in the air, it’s in the beat, it’s in the very soul of the work."
- Jeremy Knox, Film Threat read full review

”Revolutionary, voyeuristic, campy, sexy… more of a loving homage than biting satire."
- LA Weekly read full review

”Had me on the edge of my seat… will stick with you long after you've watched it.”
- Deep Dish read full review

”Gorgeous ...feels less like an homage and more like a newly discovered classic... better than most of the movies that inspired it..."
- Gonzoriffic Movie Reviews read full review

”Steve Balderson is the best-kept secret in American independent cinema. He makes his own films - which are unfailingly brilliant - and the rest of the world very, very gradually catches up with him...  Stuck! [is] an unexpectedly powerful, skilfully managed slice of women-in-prison drama that never teeters into camp..."
- MJ Simpson, UK read full review

”If one insists upon calling it a 'women-in-prison film,' then it must be conceded that STUCK! is easily the only women-in-prison film that could justifiably be called a serious work of art."
- Dr. Joseph Suglia read full review

”This film will reel you in with the promise of a rousing good time ... Balderson ratchets up the action, cranks out the snappy dialogue, and brings us back to another era of tough times and even tougher women."
