FESTIVAL REVIEWS

"Romma is a playwright...it is a theater production caught on film... I think the lady is brilliant and daring...This is truly a wonderful film...Amazing things will follow this film and I can't wait to see what Sophia comes up with next." --Brian Lutes, Creation International Film Festival

"Dr. Sophia Romma is a fascinating writer-director. She has more in common with David Lynch and Salvador Dali than most film-makers. she is an accomplished playwright and has won numerous awards and is known for infusing surrealism and mysticism in her films...."Used and Borrowed Time" is a story about time travel. She has a unique twist to the cinematic flashback in that her main character actually travels back into her own timeline....Dr. Romma wants to turn her characters inside out and show their motivations, regardless of how disgusting it may sound. This is an adult movie made for adults who are capable of change. The horrors and pathos of this film [are] a road to change." -- Anthony Ewart, Weekly Film Festival Review



FESTIVAL ARTICLES

"It is not a simple film to watch, but it’s an important one. It doesn’t shy away from harsh truths, and unveils the hatred that lied, and in some places still lies, in today’s world....This film manages to beautifully deliver an important message while remaining artistic and unique. -- Adva Reichman, Cult Critic
