What people are saying.

The beauty of The Reunion is that it doesn’t settle for easy answers. In the end, Ricky must accept both the light and dark sides of his nature in order to feel peace. The title refers not only to the high school reunion, but to the reunion of Ricky’s psyche.

Films like The Reunion are why I appreciate independent films. It takes storytelling risks and is incredibly thoughtful about its highly relatable subject matter. Sadly, Big Hollywood would never bankroll these kinds of risks or tell stories of the ordinary person’s struggles.

Just watched [your] film. Very !@#$ing incredibly good brother. So many memorable scenes. Flawlessly casted and shot. Sound was so immersive. [You and your] woman costar crushed it.

I loved that final scene with her. The hysteria. The cool down. Final scene was beyond perfect. Def felt like a love letter to NYC too with all the settings and transition shots of the city. It was a real work of art.

Went to the screening of The Reunion on Saturday. Cool film. Charming and compelling, with some great moments of humor.

Also, I was inspired by the writer’s story of how long it took the film to actually get made. There’s hope for me yet :)

"The whole movement of the movie is original. It kind of reminds me -- actually, it doesn't literally remind me of anything, but let's say it makes me think of a great movie that it's totally unlike, which is Fellini''s 8 and 1/2...What a lyrical, terrifying, healing experience."

— Austin Pendleton ("Finding Nemo", "A Beautiful Mind")

"The Reunion brings a story of the how friendships and intimacy can heal, and sometimes confuse the process of healing from childhood trauma. In this beautiful, non-linear expression of that process for one man who experienced being bullied at a most vulnerable time in his life, this film provides truly unique characters and relationships in a story that surprises and reaffirms the potential for growth through the painful process of owning our power, and learning from our mistakes."

“A meditation on masculinity ...Psychologically complex. Unsettling in the best possible way!”

— Adrian Bewley (playwright “Max Factor”)

“Dave Rosenberg, the screenwriter, has a deep, current and clever young voice. The Reunion is Woody Allen meets Birdman in it's chaotic, yet romantic, yet edgy style. His protagonist explores and searches for his masculine identity in a Hamlet-like search for meaning and understanding of manhood. The landscape of NYC serves as a modern day 'On The Road backdrop' to his journey.”

— Christina Zorich (“Hillary”)

“I read "The Reunion" not knowing anything about it really. As an audience member/reader I was thoroughly engrossed in the story of our hero and deeply enjoyed the arc that our hero goes through. I can relate to this classic "hero's journey" tale in that it speaks to both the high schooler in me AND the man I am today.”

— Matt Munroe (“Independence Day: Resurgence”)
