“The Merry Gentleman” (Trailer)
Critical Acclaim
“Everything about the film is exceedingly refined: the economy of the language of Ron Lazzeretti’s screenplay, the wintry urban world of a Chicago few will recognize … The dialolgue is exquisitely spare, a gift from screenwriter Ron Lazzeretti.”
—THE L.A. TIMES
“The screenplay is by Ron Lazzeretti, who writes dialogue of a very high order, subtle, cautious, aware…. Lazzeretti set out to write a film about humans, not genre stereotypes, and I suspect that’s what attracted Keaton.”
—ROGER EBERT (3 ½ stars)
“Nearly pitch-perfect … Keaton, working from the screenplay by Ron Lazzeretti (an unfamiliar name that I hope becomes more familiar), succeeds in being true to something the movies tend to forget: that other people’s relationships are often mysterious.”
—THE NEW YORK TIMES
“I love films like this… A stark and beautiful work.” – AIN’T IT COOL NEWS
“An edgy entertainment, the movie also remarkably has the feel-good warmth of an old-time Irish film…
Infusing the scenario with dollops of dark Hitchcockean humor, screenwriter Ron Lazzeretti weaves a perverse but embracing tale.”
