What are the critics saying about MY EFFORTLESS BRILLIANCE? This is what!

“…a well-executed dissection of a particularly complicated male friendship.”
- Michael Tully, Hammer to Nail

“…Brilliance shows that you can be creative and revolutionary in your filmmaking approach without throwing out all the rules of simple drama.”
- Mark Bell, Film Threat

“The performances by Sean Nelson and Basil Harris seem deceptively casual and understated, but beneath the surface a very real tension exists between the two that simmers without ever erupting and exploding into a contrived denouement.”
- Dan Nuxoll, Rooftop Films

“The sense of improvisation is so strong and the film so gorgeously shot that you’ll feel like you’re tagging along on Eric’s weekend in the country.”
- James McNally, Toronto Screenshots

“Shelton is able to create a sometimes remarkable volume of visual comedy…it’s a nicely rendered, novella-esque character study with some impressive naturalistic performances.”
- Karina Longworth, spout.com
