Frederick Blichert The Tyee (British Columbia) Feb 13, 2022
Its hard not be drawn in by the players, each completely endearing in her own way. While Plazas star power lures us in, her teammates and rivals have no trouble keeping us invested. Go to Full Review

It's possible to watch The Pistol Shrimps as little more than the story of a unique, admittedly often silly niche subculture. But there's more if you want it, including a deceptive emotional weight and understated progressive streak that flows beneath. Go to Full Review
