Casting About Ratings & Reviews
Kansas City Star
Robert W. Butler
Casting About is less a documentary than a lyrical tribute to women in general. Strong women, confident women, nervous women, goofy women, beautiful women and just normal-looking women. This film adores them all.
Chicago Sun-Times
Bill Stamets
This revelatory documentary lets us see what it's like to be an actress at an audition.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
I thought I'd enjoy this, but it wound up giving me the creeps.
Los Angeles Daily News
Casting doesn't couch its message.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
A fascinating and surprisingly involving film.
L.A. Weekly
Tim Grierson
Slowly evolves beyond highfalutin concepts like 'the craft of acting' into universal questions about surface beauty, inner depth and the double-edged sword of following a dream.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
A simultaneously dispiriting and inspiring portrait of the auditioning process that will be of great interest to actors and casting directors.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
I admired it and felt a little ground down at the same time.
Film Journal International
Doris Toumarkine
Those viewers who tend to regard glasses half empty rather than half full will be appalled at what could pass for outright exploitation by the filmmakers.
New York Times
Matt Zoller Seitz
The most powerful moments find the movie surrendering to its female subjects' charisma, fixating on their hand gestures or settling into a static position, the better to watch a woman speak a stranger's words and become someone else.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
This film stands as a tribute to the actresses who put their hearts on the line.
Film-Forward.com
Kent Turner
A ready-made DVD special feature
Filmcritic.com
Chris Barsanti
a wretched snooze
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Casting About may be a definitive account of the cinematic audition process.
Variety
Richard Kuipers
The acting process is joyously celebrated in Casting About, a captivating documentary shot entirely in audition rooms during the search for three thesps for a feature film.
