There is a new, in-depth review of “The Projectionist” out today via “The Hollywood Outsider.”
“As the tortured lead, Russ Russo injects Jacob with just enough emotion to enable us to relate, even as things begin to spiral out of control. He is the absolute heart and soul of the film, and his performance thankfully lives up to the task. This is not acting on the level of exaggeration, this is a carefully restrained portrait of a man whose fragile mind has no concept of its own fractured state. The reels of film nor the pinch of the needle are enough to free Jacob from his personal hell, though try he does. Russo’s performance reminds one of a more low-key PTSD suffering Travis Bickle.”
