?️ Reviews
- The 7th Matrix: “Odessa is gorgeously shot and beautifully acted with an emotional intelligence highlighted by the adroit writing and direction of Cidney Hue.”
- Ms. in the Biz: “Director Cidney Hue’s film Ovum was a chilling look at women’s reproductive rights that made several in the audience gasp with heartbreak.”
- The 2nd Sex & Th 7th Art: “Ovum (dir. Cidney Hue) is another sci-fi film with wonderful acting by Michelle Beck and a thought-provoking scenario.”
- Stereo Stickman: “The fun and optimism that has gone into this project is matched flawlessly by the sheer professionalism and attention to detail.”
- Atwood Magazine: “Already a musical bash, “Yas Kween” gets the perfect visual accompaniment thanks to Big Hair Girls’ Cidney Hue-directed music video.”
- Science vs Hollywood: “…a very human story on how fleeting human connections can be. Some of the themes are reminiscent of Queen’s song ‘39 and the 2014 movie Interstellar.’”
- Labocine: “Odessa is what a goodbye forever to the time you live in looks like.”
- Kuriositas: “Odessa is a low-key and reflective look at one aspect of the human condition – the urge to explore.”
- Mighty Mega: “Odessa is a lovely film that explores what it might be like to contemplate a 135-year-long journey to a distant extrasolar planet.”
- Drive in Zeppelin: “It’s pretty neat how the director humanizes the City of New York…”
- Wide Screen World: “You could call this Gravity meets Before Sunrise”
