Review/Interview AnE Vibe The Pulse of Entertainment by Deborah Buckner http://www.anevibe.com/content/view/282/9/
“This is a haunting film, stripping away the glamour and cocky confidence of the duo as portrayed by Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway in Arthur Penn's classic Bonnie and Clyde.”
September 2007
"The details to keeping the set pieces true to the era seem almost painstaking and it shows through the tiniest detail. Dixie Lee Sedgewick and Dominic Comperatore are a worthy team to portray the couple, as they provide a healthy conflict and volatile chemistry needed to convince audiences, and the two really sell “End of the Line” as a strong drama ..."

Reviews
Film Reviews Cinima Crazed “Zicree and Sedgewick think beyond the crimes and antics and attempt to delve into the psyche of the duo, portraying the demons that haunt them, and how they can see nothing but crime and inevitable death awaiting them.” Micro Filmmaker “Not only is it a great glimpse into the psychology of the famous outlaw, but it’s a testament to the preparedness of the filmmakers in making this movie.” AnE Vibe The Pulse of Entertainment “A screening of the short film Bonnie and Clyde: End of the Line was a highlight of the Red Crown Symposium.” |
