BLOOD AND THE RYE

“…you’ve given us something so simple and straightforward on the surface, but left it open to so much underlying depth. I think too many writers do the opposite of this script–all these moving parts that are supposed to add up and don’t. Here, we get an easy-to-digest story that sits with us for a second. Anyway, I really loved it, and I rarely ever get to say that.”
