“Waltzing With Brando is one of those rare films that feels like stepping into a fever dream, … The film leans into the surreal nature of its premise, balancing humor, drama, and the eccentricities of its characters to create a compelling narrative that is as entertaining as it is bizarre.”

”What starts as “city architect meets eccentric movie star” becomes this surprisingly sweet meditation on friendship and chasing impossible dreams. The direction keeps things light without losing the genuine heart of the story. I really loved this movie … and would happily watch it again.”

“Honestly, what would you rather want from a biopic focused on Marlon Brando? A standard tale of a young kid who utilized specific acting methods and became incredibly popular..? Or, would it be more enjoyable to watch a hangout movie about a totally Zen and reclusive Brando befriending a somewhat uptight architect, and the antics that follow? I really appreciated the latter choice, as I frankly got more out of it than I could have the other way.”
