Well, I posted Ronnie and the Pursuit of the Elusive Bliss on several social media outlets, and so far the reactions to the film that I wrote for actor-director Juan Carlos Hernandez have been positive.

As of today, no one has written a long, detailed review, but judging by some of the comments I have read on Facebook, Ronnie works as it was intended; it is funny and at the same time it reflects the divisions in the United States during Donald Trump's Presidency.

OMG, I was dying! The mom was the best. I didn’t think she was actually going to say “fuck,” I laughed out loud when she did. ...drinking wine out of a regular glass... it is so funny. I see you got your John Denver in too.

Wonderful! Terrific character portrayals, dialogue, and score ~ the concept played full out with heart, humor, hurt and hope. Congratulations to all of you!

I loved it so very much. The mother's face at the end gave it the right touch.


So, Dear Reader, as you can see, the movie has been well-received, even by people who I thought would not have liked it due to its political undertones.
