Reaction: Very strong numbers for a dark comedy, a genre that has not been kind to the studio in the past. We've released two other films with that official genre: Invisible Monsters in Season 1 and An Honest Mistake in Season 4. Both films lost money at the box office, making Nevada, Iowa our highest grossing film in the genre.
"Writer John Malone has written three lead roles that most actors would kill to get the chance to play, allowing the filmmakers to land three top-level talents in Witherspoon, Rockwell and Chandler, who all give performances at the top of their game." - Michael Van Patten, Slant Magazine
"Nevada, Iowa takes a while to get going, but I urge you to not give up on it. It's slow-burn filmmaking, but when it gets hot, it gets real hot, starting out as a quirky dark comedy and finally becoming a tense thriller." - Michael Wilmington, Rolling Stone
"John Malone has hit another script out of the park. While the story is long, and takes a while to kick into gear, it features some of the most interesting characters to hit the big screen in a long time." - Jeff Stockton, The Roundup
