Reviews

This low-budget film written and directed by Aaron Schimberg is almost every kind of strange, and yet it has an amiable warmth and an inexhaustible reserve of originality that make it compelling as hell.

Leslie Felperin, Guardian

Chained for Life is particularly interested in performance as it relates to people with disabilities, films about them and the able-bodied that play them.
