Critics on Four Letter Words
- “the film has a stomach-churning, downbeat authenticity.”
“a caustic, funny trip down memory lane” – The Austin Chronicle
“the performances from this quality ensemble cast of unknownactors are engaging… genuinely funny.” – Film Threat
“Void of chisel-cut male leads or well-groomed female starlets, this storyresonates not because of its snappy dialogue or hard-cut narrative, but ratherfor its earnest, and inspiring effort to deconstruct the engine human.”– Marcel Meyer, South By Southwest
“This just might be a version of a guy’s chick flick.” – Tim Welch, The Dog Pile
“I don’t think there was a line of dialogue in this film that struck me asfalse or untrue… “ – Mike Everleth, Badlit.com
“Baker’s characters are the most believable I’ve seen in awhile. Fans ofRichard Linklater (Dazed and Confused) should appreciate it.” – Jeff McCoy, Micro-Film
