"My Dinner With Andre, with a plot!"
Marcia Nasatir, “Reel Geezer” critic and producer
(The Big Chill, Ironweed, Hamburger Hill)
"Your Good Friend is so warm and so sly,
and what an unusual combination those two virtues make!
I was thrilled by the way the film crew subtly edged into the frame by the end,
making a literal analogue to the way the viewer has been edged from his complicity and identification with Jules into something a bit more uneasy
while never unsympathetic ...
... Masterful."
Jonathan Lethem, bestselling novelist
(Fortress Of Solitude, As She Climbed Across The Table)
"A remarkable, intimate, poignant conversational pas de deux between a most unlikely pair - a widowed rabbi (Lawrence Kushner) and a scuffling pornographer (Matthew Jacobs). These two troubled souls decide to team up and develop a website that will somehow meld their disparate interests.
They end up grappling with life, love, and the meaning of the universe, baring their souls and seeking common ground as they wander from street to cafe to apartment in one of most beautiful cities in the world, San Francisco.
Not since ‘My Dinner with Andre’ has there been an emotional and intellectual onscreen meeting of the minds quite as stimulating as ‘Your Good Friend.’”
Michael Snyder,
(San Francisco Film Critics Circle)
