“Compelling. Furiously combative.”
– Guy Lodge, Variety –“‘Stinking Heaven’ possesses a hazy, documentary-like realism.”
– Michael McWay, Hammer to Nail –“Brimming with a putrid effervescence and an ensemble cast willing to dig deep into the filth of life, ‘Stinking Heaven’ further confirms Silver’s talent as a great conductor of chaos.”
– Ben Umstead, Twitch Film –
Married couple Jim and Lucy (Keith Poulson, Deragh Campbell) run a commune in the early 90’s for sober living out of their suburban New Jersey home. The motley members eat, bathe and work together selling homemade “health tea” out of their van. Although there’s constant bickering and plenty of fires to be put out, Jim and Lucy have managed to establish a haven for these outcasts. But the harmony is interrupted when Ann (Hannah Gross), a recovering addict and the ex-lover of one housemate, arrives. Ann’s insidious presence sends the members spiraling out of control, resulting in paranoia, drug relapse and eventually death.
