It navigates the ridiculous and the relatable, holding both in the same beat. Go to Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Mar 15
With the exception of the central character played by Judy Greer, all the figures onscreen display the sort of eccentricities that are presumably meant to be either amusing or endearing but instead simply come across as odd. Go to Full Review Alan French FandomWire 1h
8/10
A fun Midwest crime comedy, Chili Finger is a love letter to the Coen Brothers. However, the performances from Greer, Cranston, and Astin are reason enough to check this out. Go to Full Review Aaron Peterson The Hollywood Outsider 7h
8.5/10
Anchored by Greer’s stellar performance amidst all of the insanity happening around her, you realize this Midwestern Coen Brothers-esque romp is genuinely unique. It is bold, bizarre, and absolutely worthy of a trip to the cinema.  Go to Full Review Pete Hammond Deadline Hollywood Daily 4d
Chili Finger doesn’t rewrite the rules, but with a cast having a blast, it modestly provides a good ol’ time. Go to Full Review Christopher Llewellyn Reed Film Festival Today Mar 15
3.5/5
It’s great to see Greer in a leading role like this, so often does she play (to perfection) the supporting parts. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
