secrets, history, baggage, people that keep their cards close to the chest, all of these inscrutable dynamics cleverly come into play with murder, grief, and crime in the inventive and original "Blow The Man Down"
Bridget Savage Cole and Danielle Krudy's eccentric directorial debut shows the mark of promising newcomers; the film is smartly assembled, making the most of a limited indie budget and building a compelling world to boot
a deliciously clever New England noir; This atmospheric, expertly crafted little New England noir has droll dialogue, a female empowerment theme and a sly use of crime elements
"Blow The Man Down" is well written, well paced and completely suspenseful. The small, stellar cast does a compelling job at drawing you in; but it's the austere, dutiful Priscilla (Sophie Lowe) who's most captivating
"Blow the Man Down" is not a masterpiece that will change your life, but you've probably had your life changed enough lately. It's 90 minutes of thoughtful, atmospheric, well-made entertainment, and that's more than good enough
"Blow the Man Down" is a salty, quirky, gritty, droll, female-driven noir comedy set in a fishing village with a delectably sinister vibe; it's thoroughly enjoyable as a tale of crime, sisterhood and small-town secrecy
