Reviews

• "'Momma's Man,' completely unshakable, is implicitly nostalgic, about a nostalgic man, but only because it has such an unsentimental commitment to the gap between past and present: You can never get to the past, but it can always get to you." - Slant Magazine¹

• "'Momma's Man' feels like an intensely personal consideration of the impermanence of things -- not just childhood, but also neighborhoods, cities, entire ways of life." - Variety²
