Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinJun 25, 2015
Punchy dialogue, sharply drawn characters and excellent performances fuel Glass Chin. Read full review

The PlaylistRodrigo PerezJun 24, 2015
Measured, assured and featuring across-the-board strong performances, Glass Chin in many ways is a tiny little drama about the virtues of character. But its scale belies its heart, which is dented, but authentic and golden. Read full review

The DissolveMatthew DessemJun 24, 2015
Most of the time, the way to hit the big target is to aim as precisely as possible at the small one. That’s what Noah Buschel does so well in his new film Glass Chin. Read full review

So it's a good thing the film has that cast, and Stoll in particular. He’s the main reason to watch Glass Chin. And not coincidentally, he’s often quiet. Read full review

The New York TimesNicolas RapoldJun 25, 2015
Despite an appealing fondness for New York locations and habits, Mr. Buschel and his cinematographer, Ryan Samul, have embalmed their film in style. J. J.’s ostentatious speeches feel like a projection of self-conscious cleverness, and the film’s virtuoso lighting doesn’t always match up to the needs of a scene. Read full review

Corey Stoll is the only reason to sit through this muddled Jersey-set drama. Read full review
