praise for mesopotamia, tx

“The film is a treasure.”
Film Obsessive

“'Mesopotamia, TX' is an incredible achievement.”
Cinemacy

“I think it goes without saying that the writing by Lucy Gamades in Mesopotamia, TX is excellent. The way she evolves the two characters in such a short span of time, while commenting on tricky subjects such as faith and love, is wonderful.”
Film Fugitives

“Whether you think a deity made the eclipse to remind you of its presence and power or you enjoy the expression of simple orbital mechanics, the terrifying/wonderful sense of being part of the machinery of the universe is the same. Sharing it with someone forges a lifetime bond. Gamades captures all that perfectly in Mesopotamia, TX.”
Film Threat

And from Letterboxd:

“The whole thing manages to thread this difficult line between warm comedy and a sincere human story. And when the actual solar eclipse happens. It is SUBLIME. …A life affirming beautiful film.”
