Reactions to Around the Bay

"Bracing, intimate, involving...Achieves sharp potency." -- Variety

"Alejandro Adams' Around the Bay is a true find...[a] quiet, beautifully realized story. Every single moment of the story rings true, aided by uniformly excellent performances..." -- indieWIRE

"I thoroughly enjoyed your movie...the camerawork, the stylistic choices, the whole look of the film. It was poignant and engrossing. You've pulled off something difficult, a chamber drama in the sunshine. You've made a very fine film, which stays with me." -- Phillip Lopate
