5 stars for The Big Bad Swim from eFilmCritic!

And a great review for Choking Man:

"Sometimes I don't realize the impact a film has on me until days later... when I can't shake emotions and images that hunt me down whether I want them back or not. Such is the case with Choking Man.

Choking Man, though itself somewhat of an oddity -- part conventional cinematic story, part pastiche, and part tone poem, it does what movies at their best are supposed to do: pull you inside the canvas of its inhabitants to experience directly their moral or emotional transformations without resorting to didactics. Credit here goes not only to Barron's visual conceits and thematic concepts and his top-notch editing team, but to A+ performances across the board, not the least of which comes from the precocious Octavio Gomez Barrios who utters barely ten words throughout." -IndievilleNYC
