"What a great film find ! I stumbled over this one searching for "The Deli" and am I glad I did ! This is an emotionally and physically jarring film, DeRezendes' cinematography wonderfully punctuates the fractured reality of the story. The actors bring the piece to life by skillfully interpreting the random situations at the party while staying in character and keeping the plot cohesive and making you actually care what happens to these people. (I hope to see these actor taking over the Hollywood scene ASAP !) The documentary interviews on the DVD really made the experience richer. A great film that is ideally packaged on DVD by FilmThreat. MORE MORE ! Cheers to all !"
The beauty of independent film.

"G.O.R.I. is a proof positive that you don't need big stars and $50 million dollars to make a great movie. Thoroughly engrossing from the first mysterious moments, this improvised story (shot in real time) goes from a fun little party to an emotional nightmare as more and more is revealed about the characters at the party. In the spirit of "The Celebration", this is a gritty, intense, and often very funny movie that doesn't play out like your average Hollywood fare."
A masterpiece

""Getting Out of Rhode Island" is so wonderfully different from the majority of films currently in release. I hope this bold and visceral work can be seen by as many people as possible. "Getting Out of Rhode Island" is something you don't see everyday in contemporary filmmaking: a masterpiece.
