“The cast skillfully transcends the leaden screenplay, holding the drama together, if only barely. Kudos to composer Andrea Vanzo for a tensive, beautiful piano score that enhances and elevates the story.” –

The Devil's Bath (2024)

“The Devil’s Bath is not a vague arcadian thriller populated by antlered beasts and shadowy legends: this is a flesh-and blood depiction of real life, daily life as a harsh litany of suffering and emptiness for those at the bottom. ” –
