"The writer/director of this film, Sam Benenati, does not truly care about the 1983 madeforTV movie The Day After or its cultural legacy, but latching onto a nostalgic event does serve as an intriguing hook for his sometimes spartan short, and as clever shorthand for communicating Frank’s distressed headspace. This allows Benenati to dive into what he does best, which is direct amazing performances from actors. It’s a skill he does as well as anyone in Short Film." S/W Curator, Jason Sondhi
