“Strong performances and an edgy script, as two men seek real meaning and connection in a life that’s going by all too quickly.” M.L.
Indie filmmaking
“Like all great indie films, the lead characters in Roxie are seriously flawed which really makes you care about them and their journey.”
Friendship
“ROXIE is a thought-provoking and relatable ‘coming of second-age’ drama.”
Betrayal
“ROXIE is a small, independent film with good writing, solid acting, and a lot of heart. It’s thoughtful and funny with a bit of soul.”
And retribution
“It’s a journey that changes each of them in tender, sad, deep, and funny ways.”
What Our Critics and Audience Say About Roxie
My actual favorite film of the fest, the locally produced Roxie
“Roxie, at its heart, is a tragedy about lives spent reliving the past, an unmasking of the harsh realities of time and aging, on the need for a real connection and how any false one inherently corrupts and leaves you bare.”
Collider
The emotional truth of the characters
“Watching Roxie I was struck by the emotional truth of the characters…To see people of that age or anyone over the age of thirty engaged in sex, that’s kind of revolutionary today… I think the honest depiction of human emotion in a film is inherently political.”
Ted Hope, Producer
Strong performances and an edgy script
Roxie is exactly what an independent film should be, with strong performances and an edgy script, as two men seek real meaning and connection in a life that’s going by all too quickly. No flash, no tricks, just poignant and provocative storytelling with heart. Well done!

Roxie is a bold, independent, and unbridled exploration of some restless characters cajoling each other into increasingly sticky situations, often with hilarious results, and always with raw emotion bubbling to the surface.
