Really wonderful movie. Refreshing to see some new faces in the acting arena! The story was well thought out and the relationships real. All around a really great movie!

This almost felt more like a documentary than a piece of fiction, the actors so fully inhabited their characters, and those characters and situations were so real.

I saw this at its Chicago premier at the film festival and it is astounding. The actors are working at a level you don't see very often, it reminds me of the best of Bergman, except funny and incredibly real. The fight scenes are hard to watch because they don't sugarcoat the way we can go for the jugular with our loved ones, but the honesty and love that infuse this movie is a rare rare thing.

This indie drama from director Kyle Henry largely works due to its authenticity in replicating real-world relationship challenges.

Rogers Park covers a lot of ground within a tight runtime, and Henry accomplishes this in part by using economical character development.

Though it may not travel far out of its North Side neighborhood, it's an ideal showcase for the four leads, who are given the latitude to create fully human characters.

It is a testament to the filmmakers and their superb cast that this story arc doesn't come across as mere trickery.

Rogers Park is poetic and lovely and muscular and unforgiving at the same time, much like the area itself and the city as a whole.

Taking advantage of blind casting, Rogers Park is a family affair that puts the spotlight on the Chicago neighborhood of the same name.

A fine script boasting confident direction that gets terrific mileage out of its diverse ensemble of independent actors, all while set against a Chicago backdrop, make Rogers Park worth checking out and pondering over after the credits roll

The sympathetic performances, understated direction, and thematic emphasis on lower-middle-class unhappiness all reminded me of British filmmaker Mike Leigh.
