Story-wise, nothing in Glass Chin will surprise you. But stylistically, the film's got something cool going on.

Despite an appealing fondness for New York locations and habits, Mr. Buschel and his cinematographer, Ryan Samul, have embalmed their film in style.

Punchy dialogue, sharply drawn characters and excellent performances fuel "Glass Chin," an intimate drama that's set in the boxing world but is about so much more.
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Corey Stoll is the only reason to sit through this muddled Jersey-set drama.
