Ben Sachs Chicago Reader Jul 2, 2015
Writer-director Kenny Riches lays on the whimsy pretty thick, and his sub-Jarmusch deadpan style (inert camera, intentionally flat line readings) adds another layer of affect to the story. Go to Full Review
Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times Jun 25, 2015
Although Beef and Conan are far from stereotypical, the quirkiness and eccentricities ascribed to them by writer-director Kenny Riches harp on their otherness all the same. Go to Full Review
Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter Feb 5, 2015
The kind of indie doodle of a movie in which several potentially interesting ideas co-exist but never quite come together and where supporters will call the narrative "freewheeling" while naysayers will insist on "rambling." Go to Full Review

The weird, quirky and surrealistic vision quest that is 'The Strongest Man' marks Riches as a talent to look out for down the line, once his technical marksmanship catches up with his creative core. Go to Full Review
Jordan Brooks Vague Visages Aug 2, 2023

Josh Terry Deseret News (Salt Lake City) Aug 5, 2015
It's definitely an acquired taste, but it's most helpful to view the film as a fairy tale. Go to Full Review
