User Reviews

Absolutely amazing...

I've had the pleasure of viewing Pop Foul twice now, once at Woodstock and once at Sundance. It just keeps getting better every time. The cinematography, music, the writing and direction of actors are all superbly confident. Molson shows an ability to get consistently great performances from his actors, even child actors. It's one of those rare shorts that points to a larger world, that doesn't seem constrained by the format. I'm anxious to see what Molson can do in features, he definitely seems ready for it.

All in all, an important movie, told with an important voice.

10/10
