A low-key gentle whisper of a film.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 27, 2020

The great Peter Gerety, most recently seen as a very bad guy on Showtime's always audacious 'Ray Donovan,' plays the titular 'Working Man' in a wonderful little indie about layoffs, mental illness and camaraderie at the local workplace.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 5, 2020

It's always a thrill to see a great character actor land a lead role and make the most of it.

Working Man has the markings of a first-time filmmaker. The film, however, is elevated by Gerety, who gives his all in his first lead role in forty years.

Gerety and Brown's layered performances allows the film to evolve into something more nuanced.

A diamond in the rough, writer/director Robert Jury's aptly titled small town drama gains gravitas from excellent performers working through a heartfelt story.

As 'be kind to each other' has become a daily rallying cry for empathy and understanding, it's uncanny to watch a film that mines these very depths.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. We need something to feel good about. Someone to follow. Who better than an average guy who just wants to work?

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 21, 2020

Gerety's understatedly poignant portrayal of Allery - from trembling lip to darting, disbelieving eyes - tells you everything you need to know about this Working Man's anxiety, anguish and pride.

This quiet, powerful and elegiac study of a man coping, not a remnant but a hero, casts an eye back to a time when people had jobs for lives. Long gone now.

Although a working-class fantasy, the film is thematically more about mental illness and its implications for the 'Working Man,' and has a nice sense of redemption in the end.

First-time director Robert Jury's Working Man finds suspense amidst the humdrum, and love among the rubble of a marriage put on hold.

Working Man is not neon. It is a 60-watt bulb but it provides just enough light to see.

| Jun 8, 2020

A topical film with evocative performances reminding us of the importance of having a purpose in life and compassion for others.

A fable, pure and simple; but it's a good-hearted one.
