Praise for Tick Tock:

 “…a journey that defies expectations and is breathtaking in its resolution.” “'Tick Tock' would be a risky, boundary‐pushing film were it to be a full‐length 90 minute feature film. It's unfathomable to introduce such powerful, boundary‐pushing subject matter within the context of a less than 10‐minute short film. Yet, somehow, the mission is accomplished.”

‐RICHARD PROPES, The Independent Critic

 “The acting, cinematography, editing and music are all very well done and the film is certainly worth the time is takes to watch it (although it is best viewed twice).” “'Tick Tock' has an unexpected ending; it never cheats to get there.”

‐SEAN GERSKI, It’s Just Movies

 “…a real accomplishment and nothing short of excellent…” “…a stand out among other short films that mess with convention…” “… a short gem that takes the genre and turns it on its head to deliver one of the more surprising and disturbing climaxes I've seen in years...”“…once you see what develops amidst” … “you'll know that you've been had and your jaw is likely to drop on the floor at the major revelation…”

‐FELIX VASQUES, JR., Film Threat

 "...this film is incredibly well executed. The cinematography… is exceptional." "Both Tracey Birdsall-Smith and Stuart McClay Smith do a great job...""...'Tick Tock' is certainly up there with the best of them." "The beautiful understated way in which the film is executed adds immeasurably to the final reveal..."

-PAUL PRITCHARD, Pulpmovies.com

“...a social and cultural taboo... heinous to us today.” “...suspenseful, provocative...” “...conveys longing while weaving a seductive yet dangerous spell...” “...an impressive accomplishment.” “...a sexy love scene that is filmed with delicacy...” “...no way we can accurately predict the outcome...” “The weaving of biblical themes and symbols... into the fabric of the plot deepen the story’s implications...” “It is only natural to succumb to sexual temptation...” “forbidden” ...
