REVIEWS
" ... a poetic and often very funny script" ~ New York Times
"It is wrong to tell you too much about Grimly Handsome, Julia Jarcho's superbly wicked caprice It's much better to awaken slowly to the creepiness of Jarcho's deep, dark woods, to go blithely into her Grimm landscape, which rustles with talking animals, smiling predators and language gone elliptical and awry Jarcho pulls off miracles" ~ Time Out, New York
