Abe Duenas This is a great film with genuine laughs. You will fall in love with the Characters and will be left an appetite for more. Trying to catch the attention of Bill Murray that is judging a 48 hour film festival, the Shaw's scramble to assemble their crew and give it one last shot before having to settle down and get real jobs. You feel wanting to be a part of the eccentric film crew the Shaw's put together for this heist they are on. Years from now you will put Cinema Purgatorio as one of the films that catapulted yet another filmmakers career to the next level. Right up there with Bottle Rocket and El Mariachi. Not only does this film give us a heartfelt story that we can get behind, but also reminds us that true success is not measured by dollar signs.

karenvanarsdale This clever and unexpected film about the creative process of independent film making has a lot of laughs, a much needed message and a great twist! Enjoyed every well crafted frame and the chemistry with the crazy ensemble cast was palatable. This movie also gives its audience a great message about every day life and what is most important. It's not always about the goal…its really about the journey and enjoying the moment. Everyone from artists…struggling for their next inspiration…or people in a job that seems to be going nowhere or anyone in a relationship that might be in a funk (which pretty much covers most of the people on the planet) will totally enjoy this film! …. including Bill Murray!Loved it ! This is a MUST SEE!!!

mirror013 Enjoyed this film; the characters were well developed, believable and highly likable. The wit of the dialog and especially the scenes with character Nick (played to the hilt by Lavin Cuddihee) erupted into laugh-out-loud humor throughout. The Bill Murray-esque-ness came shining through and lent the story its gravitas. Set mostly on the lovely coast of the South Carolina Low Country, the beach is as much a character in the film as the actors, for even Walt Whitman could not ask the sea to be silent. Cinema Purgatorio is the second film by Chris White and Emily Reacher White that has blown me away - keep up the great work - can't wait for your next film!

Britt Dvorak Cinema Purgatorio is a wonderfully witty film about the idiosyncrasies that go into film-making. It's a brilliant riff on the behind the scenes life, filled with rich characters and a gripping story. With only a budget of 50k, everything was stellar, considering. I believe everyone would enjoy this quirky little film, particularly people who work in the industry. In addition to all of this, it is well shot and acted. It was visually pleasing. My favorite aspect of this film was the characters. They were well- written, and I enjoyed watching them interact with each other. Their dialouge between each other is witty and always had my laughing. I was also a huge fan of the music choices used within. I will be recommending this one to everyone I know.
