Elevator Movie will be probably be the strangest thing you’ve ever seen. But if you miss it, you’ll be missing the assured debut film by an undoubtedly promising new talent...Haradon proves he is not only a talented filmmaker but also maybe the next James Spader. - Daniel Wible, FILM THREAT (Click here to read the entire review)

The film also goes from the slightly strange to the totally absurd, but in such a graceful arc that the ending of the movie doesn’t feel out of place. Elevator Movie is an inspired piece of weirdness and one of the more original debut films I’ve ever seen. - Mike Everleth, Badlit.com (Click here to read the entire review)

From those truly minimal underpinnings comes a sly, twisted powerhouse of absurdist existentialism... The real genius behind Haradon's script is the way it asks you to look at your own life. -Kurt Dahlke, DVDTalk (Click here to read the entire review)

Crudely assembled but craftily written, this black-and-white 16-millimeter feature begins as a character comedy and gradually flowers into surreal fantasy and existential drama. Eccentric and darkly funny. - J.R. Jones, CHICAGO READER

If all a filmmaker needs to succeed is “a girl and a gun”—according to BREATHLESS director Jean-Luc Godard—ELEVATOR MOVIE goes one better. Using only two characters, a measly lift setting, and a bag of groceries for props, Haradon’s film makes the most of an oddball premise. - Matthew Sanderson, THE RUMOUR MACHINE (Read full review here)

I’ve never seen anything quite like it, but it is highly recommended to viewers with a warped sensibility and strong stomach. Disturbing, mesmerizing, and psychologically perverse. - Vittorio Carli, REELMOVIECRITIC.COM

Realistic and at the same time surrealistic and absurd. - CINETRANGE.COM (Read full review here)

Using three walls and two actors, the director successfully exploits the situation to make his story captivating.

ELEVATOR MOVIE takes influence from films like David Lynch's ERASERHEAD, Shinya Tsukamoto's TETSUO: THE IRON MAN, and even has moments of Cronenbergian biological horror, but don't forget...this is a comedy!
At times, the movie felt like something Richard Kern might have done if he collaborated with John Waters.
This film scores on so many levels, but primarily because it's so simple and yet so perfectly well-done. Definitely one of the most original and bizarre films I've ever had the pleasure of watching. - GONZORIFFIC REVIEWS (read the entire review)

Yet while the capsule description may lead one to assume 95 minutes is far too long to spend on such a concept, what's most memorable about the movie is that despite its claustrophobic setting, miniscule cast, and rough production value, it's very, very addictive. The screenplay keeps throwing curveballs at the viewer regularly enough that one simply can't turn it off.

Like a cross between ERASERHEAD and TWILIGHT ZONE. - WILLAMETTE WEEK
