The Big Shot-Caller Ratings & Reviews
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
Rhein's screenplay is witty and original, never taking the expected path and nimbly avoiding cliches and narrative pitfalls.
Monsters and Critics
Ron Wilkinson
A methodical and thoughtful film that provides food for thought but will be too slow for most audiences.
Boxoffice Magazine
Matthew Nestel
This film, about a wallflower that finds himself through Salsa dancing, warrants a short-not a feature film.
BrianOrndorf.com
Brian Orndorf
Shot-Caller is more of a kissin' cousin to Napoleon Dynamite, with delayed, deadpan performance beats that crackle with dried irony and deliberate oddity, performed by a cast of amateurs.
Film Journal International
Eric Monder
Yet another entry about a lonely person discovering him or herself through dance. Though bittersweet and nicely made, Marlene Rhein's feature offers nothing new.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Family togetherness goes only so far. Witness The Big Shot-Caller, a lackluster soaper written and directed by Marlene Rhein, who stars with her brother, David Rhein. (They portray brother and sister, no less.)
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Too many threads are woven together here, but occasionally, it just connects.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
This minuscule indie variation of Saturday Night Fever moves only in fits and starts.
Variety
Ronnie Scheib
Fortunately, musicvideo vet Rhein's competent helming skills counterbalance her off-putting dialogue and flat acting style so that the pic...doesn't come off strictly amateur.
Village Voice
Aaron Hillis
You have to wonder about a debut this self-involved: What's left for the second film?
Slant Magazine
Joseph Jon Lanthier
Hallmark Channel formula is about all there is of a plot, and the leads are horrendously miscast
NewsBlaze
Kam Williams
An absolutely-appealing little gem of an indie, leaving this critic curious to see whether Ms. Rhein's sophomore offering will be anywhere near as satisfying.
