“The performances are the anchors of the film; both Alexandra Seal and Tovah Feldshuh are phenomenal. They have the presence of big-screen talent, which catapults the film as a whole. Their comedic timing is spot on, and their ability to transition into a deeper emotional state is quite effective.”

“In lesser hands, this could have been a silly jokefest, but Alexandra Seal as Abby plays the reality of the situation. It’s a ridiculous idea, but there’s heart and soul behind it.”
— Film Threat / LAY LEFTY DOWN
“Performance-wise, the cast leans fully into the absurdity while grounding it in truth. Abby’s (Alexandra Seal) emotional arc feels lived-in rather than performed. You can see the guarded exterior slowly soften as the gathering unfolds. And Aunt Eudora? (Tovah Feldshuh) She’s the emotional instigator — chaotic good energy wrapped in tough love.

“The cast here works well for the film’s content and emotions with Alexandra Seal shining as Abby. She’s the center here but not a sparkly, shining star, giving the film the performance it needs at the center of everything. Her work is understandably emotional, but she doesn’t go overboard, giving the film a solid, centered character that thinks and doesn’t explode more than she needs to. The work she puts in here carries the film and makes it an excellent one.”

“Seal plays Abby with a beautifully controlled mix of disbelief, exhaustion, and simmering grief. She grounds the absurdity, reminding us that beneath the titty cupcakes and pink confetti is a woman still trying to make sense of her own body.”

“Her older daughter Jackie is expertly played by Alexandra Seal, who brings to the stage a woman of determination and need. Normality and a home of her own is the center of her existence. Seal’s best moments come on Jackie’s wedding day when her missing fiance nearly drives the already frantic bride into a tirade of hysteria. This is perhaps one of the best bride-to-be scenes I have ever watched.”

“(Alexandra) Seal and (Jack) Fellows are superb, sympathetic as they are exasperating; they make excellent foils for each other, and their magnetism is unwavering even when they’re at their worst.”

"Alex is a very talented and pliable actress with a do whatever attitude. A rare combination. I have faith in a big future for her."
—Kate Axelrod (Creator of "Herotica")
"With the humor of Kristen Johnson, the depth of Laura Dern and the bad-assness of Angelina Jolie, Alex Seal' s discipline is rivaled only by her creativity. An asset to any project."
— Armistead Johnson (Screenwriter of "Chisholm", "Wait it Out", "Roger...")
"Alex is one of the most committed and compelling actors I have had the pleasure of working with... she pushes herself and the work to soar and finds her strength and sense of humor in every role."
— Mikhael Tara Garver (Immersive and Experiential Theater Director)
"I've had the pleasure of working with Alexandra Seal several times now, and I think of her as a major talent, she is specific, grounded and truthful. Willing to discover more about the character in order to serve stories, she is both a gorgeous leading actress, with all the tools and skills of the greatest character actors. I always look forward to working with her."
