The
critics are beginning to discover LAST BALL:
"Vivid
and Original... Last Ball offers loads of what we turn
to in indie films for in the first place: strong, honest
storytelling. This film will stay with you for a long
time."
- Tom Mellana, Stamford
Advocate
"Fresh,
sexy... Last Ball signals the emergence of a magnetic
young star -- Charlie Hofheimer is dynamite ready to explode.
This is an indie with major impact."
- Guy Flatley, contributing editor,
Interview Magazine
"This
lovely, poignant American Indie about a taxi driver in
love and too paralyzed to leave his tiny home town is
based on times in the life of talented writer/director
Peter Callahan."
- Gerald Peary, The Boston Phoenix
"One
of this year's most keenly observed coming-of-age tales
and the strongest film to emerge from the "First
Look" screening series in the last two seasons."
-
Mary Glucksman, contributing editor, Filmmaker Magazine
Callahan
"captures Jim's world with the gritty realism of
an independent auteur like Jim Jarmusch and the soft reverence
only a native son can invest in his home. The independent
spirit speaks clearly, yet Callahan's smooth edits and
classical camera style look as professional and polished
as any big budget Hollywood production."
-
Patricia Lacouture, Newport This Week
"Well
done and deeply felt. Charlie Hofheimer is excellent
in the lead role."
-
Charles Britton, The Los Angeles Daily Breeze.
"Perhaps
the truest form of independent film left."
- Erin Torneo, Indiewire
"A
realistic, intimate, funny and emotional movie."
- Brita Brundage, Fairfield County
