Gigi & Nate is what happens when you round up a good cast and a pretty polished director for a screenplay that turns away from its strengths, takes a swing at “important,” and misses. Read full review

Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerAug 31, 2022
It's a call to action with no banner behind which to rally, sanitized to the point of being anodyne. Read full review
