Pulp Movies reviews EMASCULATION http://www.pulpmovies.com/2011/11/emasculation/
"A film that quickly draws you in and effortlessly grips your attention. Jessica Lamdon and Ryan Castro put in performances that are nuanced and insightful and which leave you with the slightly uncomfortable feeling that you’ve been listening in to the conversation at the next table."
Relationships, specifically romantic relationships, are something on which we've all embarked. They are a fundamental part of being human and and the ups ...

"A dark and subtle comedy that catches its audiences right from the start"

From those that are so sweet that they rot your teeth, to some that can only be described as disturbing, it is one of the more popular subjects to tackle in the world of inde...

"[The film] is casually paced and reveals itself naturally without ever feeling forced [...] feels claustrophobic and jarring just as life often does in those final, fleeting moments of a burned out relationship"
