Square Grouper Ratings & Reviews
PopMatters
Sarah Boslaugh
The director's touch is evident in the way he chose just the right backgrounds and costumes for each character; the DEA agents wear blue suits in a bland outdoor setting while Platshorn wears a Hawaiian shirt ...
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
A documentary about ordinary-looking people who made a lot of money selling marijuana who then spent a lot of years in prison for selling a product people wanted to buy for a price they were willing to pay for it.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The title refers to bales of pot that anyone could pick up for free after the smugglers toss it from a boat or plane when pursued by the law.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
A hilarious, tragic tale of Florida ganja.
WBAI Radio
Prairie Miller
Lacks the contact high hallucinatory thrust of say, Limitless. But gets the grim war on ganja right, related to McCarthyism, the CIA Bay Of Pigs invasion of Cuba, hash brownies and autism, the Bank of Scotland, and FBI agents who wear identical shades.
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
Corben has done an impressive amount of journalistic research that will be of particular interest to South Florida audiences.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
You could get a contact high just watching it.
New York Times
Rachel Saltz
A curiously inert documentary about pot smuggling in South Florida in the 1970s and '80s.
Village Voice
Mark Holcomb
Square Grouper's admirably backhanded inquiry into the social and economic costs of weed criminalization extends far beyond the wake-and-bake crowd.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Billy Corben's doc boasts little intoxicating energy or compelling drama.
Variety
Joe Leydon
Think of it as the cinematic equivalent of a buzz-kill.
