Reviews:
"Among this writer's fav0rite films of the year. Director John Mossman handles the material expertly, allowing it to progress with ease. As the dark reality of Ken’s situation reveals itself, Into the Wake shifts from character study and romantic portrait to full- throttle backwoods horror/thriller mode deep with palm sweat tension. The perfect, seamless, mature transition rivals and bests many attempted in big budget, Hollywood thrillers of similar ilk, proving that you don’t have to be a big guy to sit with the adults. Highly recommended." - Chicago Journal
"An impressive directorial debut. The kind of movie one hopes to discover when watching unsigned, unknown movies at film festivals, Into the Wake is a smart impressionistic mystery-cum-thriller. " - Tonight at the Movies
"Local theater veteran John Mossman and company reveal a genuine eye for the city's locals, as well as outlying Sauk County (and) the acting's quite good. A promising calling card for Mossman's next feature." - Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
“A slow-burn psychological thriller with…a knack for place, omen and pictorial moodiness.” – Ray Pride, New City
"Odd, primal and nightmarish." - Chicago Reader
"A sharp instinct for thriller storytelling. A powerful film... Mossman and Miller start by setting a friendly and
humane tone, then work their way to the story's heart with a lean and cruel determination." Dane 101.com
"Intense" - Wisconsin State Journal
"stunning cinematography" - Trashwire
"An existential action thriller...with things you expect from a thriller, but there's far more depth. Clever writing.
Thoroughly refreshing...Builds to a powerful finale. It's what film festivals are for." - Apocalypse Later.com
"The kind of movie one hopes to discover when watching unsigned, unknown movies at film festivals... a smart
impressionistic mystery-cum-thriller.. An intelligently structured script, even-handed direction...impressive
sound design, some beautiful camera work, and a confident performance from Miller. An impressive directorial
debut, and a film worth checking out should it hit a festival near you (or more likely cable/Netflix)." - Tonight At
The Movies
"a thrilling and visually fabulous film, complete with terrific acting, fine editing and a smartly crafted story. ...Wonderfully shot. Tim Miller was outstanding." - Chicago Critic
