The Hollywood Reporter - Keith Uhlich

Feb 4, 2019

It’s a comedy and a tragedy, though the people involved aren’t necessarily on rigid opposite sides. Better to say that everyone has some level of fluidity, not just in terms of personal belief, though they’ll speak their dogmatic minds if the occasion demands it. Read full review

Favoring the superficial over the substantive, The Gospel of Eureka keeps skirting opportunities to excavate experience. Read full review
