Carlos Aguilar Variety Riegel’s actors ignite a convincing spark when sharing the screen. One sees the blistering force of their connection. Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Ty Burr Washington Post A sweet, slight, impressionistic character study of a struggling musician with a luminous KiKi Layne at its center. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Adam Kempenaar Filmspotting 'Well-crafted' and 'evocative' applies to Riegel’s visual style as well as the music. Rated: 3/5 Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Christopher Llewellyn Reed Hammer to Nail It’s a slow journey towards inspiration that ultimately transports her, and us, to a promising new space. Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue A magnetic portrayal by Kiki Layne galvanizes this music-infused character study exploring how personal experiences influence artistic dreams and the creative process. Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Jesse Hassenger Paste Magazine Its different moods could probably all work together in concert, under the right, delicate circumstances. Instead, Dandelion often feels like it’s running through its different options discretely. Rated: 6.7/10 Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
