“As daring and revolutionary an indie film as any crafted this decade.” - William Bibbiani, The Wrap
“Castration Movie mixes Cassavetes-level rawness, a dazed Warholian languor and quotable banter worthy of Kevin Smith… With its scenes of unsimulated sex, water-sports, self-harm and the graphic aftermath of surgery, Castration Movie’s list of trigger warnings is longer than some films’ scripts.” - Ryan Gilbey, The Guardian
