For all its exquisite theater-of-cruelty viciousness, Fort Tilden is finally a work of empathy about people whose own supplies are running on empty.

By Adam Nayman FULL REVIEW

Los Angeles Times

Aug 13, 2015

Fort Tilden is cringe-worthy but true. Maybe that's why it's so uncomfortable to watch.

By Katie Walsh FULL REVIEW

Philadelphia Inquirer

Aug 13, 2015

Comparisons to HBO's "Girls" will abound, but Fort Tilden has a more satirical bent than Lena Dunham's much-talked-about show.

By Molly Eichel FULL REVIEW

Aug 11, 2015

Allie and Harper are basically unlikable, but played with a light touch and just enough distance from their own unthinking cruelty to remain funny.

Fort Tilden, the debut feature co-written and directed by Sarah-Violet Bliss and Charles Rogers, showcases a satirical voice so dyspeptic it’s almost endearing, never letting the abrasive lead characters – or anyone else for that matter – off the hook for their self-absorbed entitlement.

By David Rooney FULL REVIEW

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)

Real insecurities live deep beneath the frenemies’ cringe-worthy obliviousness, though all credit to the filmmakers for allowing their comeuppance to contain none of the empathy the girls deny everyone else.

By Nathalie Atkinson FULL REVIEW

Aug 11, 2015

It’s like “Girls” with more funky New York locations, but with less sex, and with fewer laughs.
