Drylongso Ratings & Reviews
Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)
Marya E. Gates
This isn't a film just about death, rather it is about how Pica and her friend Tobi find the strength to thrive personally and artistically in a hostile world.

Dennis Harvey
...its variably professional actors make for some awkward moments. But as a sort of mosaic, loosely narrative-driven but digressive and observant, it feels like an invaluable, hand-sculpted take on a particular time and place...
Slant Magazine
Derek Smith
Cauleen Smith's overlooked DIY classic from 1998 is a potent examination of the power of art and love in the midst of social upheaval.

Smith's 1998 film exudes the DIY charm of a low-budget, first-time feature while keenly depicting the complexities of both race- and gender-related inequalities.

Low-key yet capacious, Drylongso is an affectionate art-school razz; a study of female friendship; a reflection on gender, race, & violence; a murder mystery; and a portrait of Oakland. Among its many pleasures, it reveals the unexpected in the everyday.
New York Times
Lisa Kennedy
Smith braids politics, friendship and romance throughout "Drylongso."
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Mesmerizing! Captivating, provocative and heartfelt. Like Pica, writer/director Cauleen Smith is also a brave, honest and perceptive artist. Her passion, determination and intelligence shine through.
Chicago Reader
Kathleen Sachs
Smith's independent masterpiece...
