“Unforgettable! Egghead Republic is a film of extremes: hilarious and gruesome, incisive and idiotic, at once inspired and deranged... This cocktail of gonzo satire, indie-sleaze excess and dystopian science-fiction is as exhilarating as it is unhinged.”
“Egghead Republic is a bonkers ride that wants its audiences to constantly be asking themselves, 'wtf is happening', and it succeeds... Taylor Labine & Ella Rae Rappaport both deliver a pitch-perfect performance.”
“Egghead Republic zips along with full energy... Captures the intoxicating, poisonous feeling of thinking you’re about to break through... Powered by a breakthrough performance by an effervescent Ella Rae Rappaport, and great, commanding work by Labine in his best role in years.”
