Review: 

A Kind Kind Man by Catherine Weingarten, directed by Zach Stasz, gives us an odd encounter between a fourteen-year-old girl (Tali Custer) selling toothpaste door to door (for $50 a tube - an immediate reality-bender) and a middle-aged neurotic man (Jeffrey Coyne) which segues into a surreal bondage event ultimately involving his wife (Victoria Guthrie). he acting is all quite good, and Weingarten is a very creative, imaginative young writer with signs of wit and originality poking through. For me it is weirdly uncomfortable for too long but is almost saved by the end's cute climax/solution.

Tali Custer, Jeffrey Coyne, Victoria Guthrie.
