Two friends stumble upon an unusual sight: six men sensually licking the pavement on an empty LA street. For Ricky, this moment ruptures something. As his reality grows porous, and his memories begin to slip and slide, he finds himself in contact with "The Yellow Thing," an entity that wears people like costumes. As Ricky adapts to his expanding worldview, a delirious new logic takes hold.

Not everything about Sour Minnows works, but the things that work well work a lot better than they should on paper. Go to Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed 4d
... a film that needs to be watched in the right frame of mind, in the right mood, and with the right people for its story. It's not meant for general audiences and it makes no qualms about it.  Go to Full Review Keri O'Shea Warped Perspective 5d
Hypno-mumblecore with a dash of Brecht and some trippy existentialism. Go to Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine 5d
7/10
It does not make the greatest of first impressions, but it plants hooks into the audience as it goes. By its conclusion it has defied expectations and – for this viewer at least – formed one of the more interesting films released this year. Go to Full Review Nadine Whitney The Curb 5d
Sour Minnows is inventive, bizarre, funny, and utterly nightmarish… disturbing and deliciously confounding. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
