Bitter Melon Reviews
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Bold, heartfelt and refreshingly unpredictable.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
An intriguing and absorbing independent film...
Film Threat
Norman Gidney
There are scenes of utter brilliance and honesty, then clunky scenes of melodrama the next. The plot that exemplifies why we love independent cinema. We are off the rails where anything could happen and the story is at once cliché and bracingly original.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
The movie grinds to a halt in its final third as the characters talk things out, which might be helpful in life but in drama tends to belabor the obvious, as well as offer an easy exit.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
Domestic violence and black comedy don't seem a natural match, but to an impressive degree "Bitter Melon" pulls off their shotgun marriage.
Gay City News
Gary M. Kramer
Mendoza adroitly sneaks in other messages, such as thoughtful discussions of both racism and effeminacy in the gay community. The cast is uniformly strong with Schneider particularly appealing as Declan, the perhaps-not-so-moral center of the family.
