(1 - 5) of 5 OFCS Rating: 80% Fresh Page   1   3/5 "In its first act, Special...feels like a standard-issue Sundance snoozer...but the indie trappings are a ploy; [it] cleverly transforms its quirk into menace, becoming a cultural criticism aimed at the ubiquity of arrogant self-importance."   The L Magazine   Henry Stewart "Take[s] a page from the cartoonist Bill Watterson, who noted of the tiger protagonist in his great Calvin & Hobbes, 'The nature of [the character's] reality doesn't interest me, and each story goes out of its way to avoid resolving the issue.'"   House Next Door   Keith Uhlich 1.5/4 "This fantasy battle between good and evil is merely a cute, minor idea with little depth and even less conscious purpose, fit for a 15-minute short rather than a feature-length narrative."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 3.5/5 "A surprisingly engaging, provocative little film that's hard to get out of your head."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 4/5 "Those who call themselves fans of the Rapaport are in for a huge treat, because the veteran character actor delivers one of the strongest performances of his career."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg  (1 - 5) of 5 OFCS Rating: 80% Fresh Page   1
