“ An intimate steel cage match of beliefs that overlap, collide, and deceive as what should have been a nice evening among old friends devolves into conflict as ideological resentments and shocking revelations bubble to the surface. When all is said and done however Diaz-Marcano still finds a path to reconciliation amidst the carnage and scorched earth. A testament to our capacity for forgiveness and an important reminder that not all is lost. ”

“ This piece presents us with something resembling a still image of a large explosion. Standing back you see the full scope of the carnage, the destruction, the fury. But if you can move a little closer and see the decaying wood that makes up the rubble, the kerosene and spent match, the beating heart of the inferno. Hurt people hurt people; Larry is no different. ”

“ A visceral exploration of trauma, systemic violence, and the finer details that can be lost in the shuffle when looking at a bigger picture. A much needed portrayal of the impotent rage inside us all that burns ever brighter in the face of overarching injustice. Espinosa's fearless narrative challenges it's characters on a deep and personal level leading up to a climax that left my jaw on the floor. This is one for the books. ”

“ Osmundsen elegantly weaves a rich dual narrative exploring neurodiversity from two parallel but experiences that dovetail and burst apart in artful ways that highlight not only the individual character arcs but amplify all of the everyday life challenges that complicate their self discovery and acceptance along the way. While both journey's are rife with sharp commentary on being a neurodivergent creative, I was moved by William in particular who perfectly captured the relief, anger, and frustration that comes with the sudden contextualization of one's behavior. A phenomenal story that explores neurodiversity with heart, care, and dignity. No BS.
