SONGS FOR A SLOTH

"All the actors are absolutely, perfectly cast. Richard Hollman, Brian McCarthy, and Ava Eisenson have so much chemistry that it almost seemed as if they were actual siblings. Their natural rapport is evident in every aspect of the film. When there is humor, it is quirky and witty, while the drama is heartfelt and passionate, and the actors do an excellent job of bringing both to light." — Film Threat

"Ava Eisenson brings winning mix of toughness and vulnerability to Gina" - Curtainup.com

"...Ava Eisenson’s Gina is nuanced and vulnerable...Come see the mnemonist. Or the play. Or both. You’ll find yourself thinking about it on the way home." - TheaterScene.net
