Small Engine Repair Ratings & Reviews
Houston Chronicle
Cary Darling
The last 40 minutes or so constitute a tense exercise in claustrophobic suspense...It's here that "Small Engine Repair" may be at its stagiest but it's here where it's also at its best.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
It's a darkly funny, authentic and unforgettable piece of work.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
It isn't as impressive as one of Martin McDonagh's works - which it sometimes goes for - but it still has Bernthal, who galvanizes every scene he's in.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Small Engine Repair is a real American horror story, skillfully shot, perfectly cast and acted, and carrying a sorrowful message that resonates with brutal truth.
RogerEbert.com
Peter Sobczynski
Small Engine Repair is little more than 103 minutes of a would-be provocation whose only real advantage is that it's ultimately too dopey to be as offensive as it clearly could have been.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Gripping, heartfelt and wickedly funny.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Builds to a defined conclusion, but Pollono works best when creating repartee for the trio, encouraging excellent performances from Bernthal and Whigham.
Fort Worth Weekly
Kristian M. Lin
In the end, Small Engine Repair succeeds by keeping its ambitions in check.
Movie Show Plus
Tom Santilli
Small Engine Repair is a blast of energy, thrown off course the further down the road it goes. But when Pollono, Bernthal and Whigham all put their feet on the gas, it's worth just leaning back and enjoying the ride.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
while Pollono is adept at drawing his male characters, he tips his hand too strongly with his plot developments, draining all surprise from what should be a shocking turn of events. What he leaves us with is a strong, regional character study...
ComicBookMovie.com
Josh Wilding
Small Engine Repair is a powerful piece of filmmaking from director John Pollono that features tour-de-force performances from its leads in a movie that's thought-provoking, darkly funny, and completely unmissable.
Decider
John Serba
The film's best quality is the character work by its three leads, who embrace the qualities of their types for comedic effect, and transcend them for dramatic effect.
The Lamplight Review
Brent Hankins
Behind the camera for the first time, Pollono proves himself adept at milking every last drop of tension from a scene and bringing out some truly exceptional work from his performers, himself included.
Screen Zealots
Louisa Moore
A provocative and profane study on brotherhood, masculinity, violence, class warfare, and the rage that stems from them all.
New York Times
Maya Phillips
Ultimately, the story still feels unfinished, and Pollono's direction falters in the film's big twist, when it tries to balance horror and humor before its tidy resolution.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
The results, although sporadically arresting, feel awkward, like a child wearing clothing a few sizes too big.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
[A]s a director, Pollono knows exactly what he wants to do with this material and how to accomplish that.
TheWrap
Simon Abrams
Pollono's affable drama doesn't say much about its characters' boozy locker talk, but it does hold together well enough thanks to its strong performances and sympathetic characters.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Bob Bloom
An air of authenticity envelops the movie. You are engaged with Frankie and his friends, hoping they do what is right.
Easy Reader (California)
Neely Swanson
A gem on many different levels.
