Independent Films Direct writes about the positive response CHOKE and the Q&A with director Clark Gregg and author Chuck Palahniuk that followed received from the sold-out crowd in attendance. Read the full report at their Web site, or read some of the highlights from their article below:
- "CHOKE... will not disappoint Palahniuk fans nor those who appreciate dark satirical drama. The film is entertaining, hilarious and emotionally resonate."
- "Yes, this is a comedy. And a deliciously vulgar, perverted, politically incorrect and uproarious one. Rockwell is wonderful – convincingly portraying the pathos that is Victor’s constant companion and the source of the story’s outrageous humor and emotional depth. The cast is terrific all around, with unwaveringly strong work from Huston, Kelly Macdonald and Brad William Henke."
- "Gregg said that watching seven separate Sundance screenings gave him perfect test audiences to decide what things were working and what were not working. A new edit of the film showed Monday in LA."
- "Palahniuk was clearly happy with the new cut, which he saw for the first time Monday night at the LAFF. He said that watching the film reminded him of the pleasure he remembered experiencing the first time he saw the dark, hilarious and touching Hal Ashby classic, HAROLD AND MAUDE."
