    A terrific film

    This movie was flat out good from beginning to end! A wonderful story with top-notch acting! I found no flat spots! Good job folks! I give this one a "thumbs up".

    Enjoyable indie

    Lovely work here - a well-made indie drama and a story we wouldn't normally see in mainstream film. The musical elements and soundtrack are very well done. Kudos to director Tim Dahlseid, writer Susan Brightbill, and team for bringing Sold Out to life.

    Truly Enjoyable

    Good Music, characters that I could care about, that felt like like human beings.... Some beautiful moments that are us, just regular people living a life torn between, family obligations and chasing your dreams. Most of us can relate to this. Life is not easy, the older we get the tougher the choices become. Especially with kids in the picture, no pun intended I definitely recommend it for any audience that wants a taste of a different world. That wants to feel something other than spectacle..... The Music is fresh and original, keeps you humming along after the movie ends and it feels good.

    Most Worthy of your time.

    Captures the Midwest perfectly

    A Faustian tale. Sold Out is a worthy, heartfelt effort that uses music as a metaphor without being a musical. Thoughts that are incomplete or are too difficult to say aloud are conveyed in lyrics. The filmmakers respect the audience so much that the future is foretold in a shot so quickly rendered, it almost disappears.

    There is some clever camera work and the outdoor scenes are classic upper Midwest.

    There are times when scenes don't line up (head tilts or hand positions differ between frontal and profile views, for example). Some of the early dialogue is a bit clunky and expository. A goofy couple inexplicably disappears. Even still, I would gladly watch another offering by this team.

    Talentless and dull

    Seriously amazingly bad and so bad it's not good. The music is bland, characters cliché and some seriously low budget shots. As a musician I stuck threw it based but just for a good laugh

    Even the dog couldn't act.
