Thanks for making this movie! Was really fun, Infact I'd say this movie is better than most movies I've seen coming out of Hollywood lately. Kudos to the cast as well they all did a great job with some solid performances. Ya know I expected to just see a silly comedy with slapstick humor but I was surprised how much the storyline pulled me in and kept me asking what was next. The movie went deeper than I expected which was a pleasant surprise. The random northwest scenery shots was a nice touch really felt like this story was happening right here in Washington which I appreciated. I even recognized some streets in the city shots that was very cool. I hope you decide to make more movies going forward. And for the first timers in the cast let them know they did a great job and I hope to see them in other projects.

Manbaby is an achievement in realizing and creatively interpreting many of the relationships of today. Gender, adulting, love, sex, ego, science, the fate of humans upon the earth, and rebellion against the capitalist society, are all conjured in the magick of the movies with the flair of Mr. Lightell's talent, eye, life, and enlightened gift of the unconscious. For all those living in these days, from queer to cis and all points in between, this movie relates. A lot of the fun is that this movie will tickle and delight and engage with your unconscious, as your conscious indulges in the joy of the story. Well acted and created with a deft hand, creatively, the film succeeds in accomplishing what the underground films of bygone eras gave us. Magick, enlightenment, and a mirror to hold up to ourselves or to cast our intentions on others. This word gets tossed around too much today, but that doesn't make it any less true when used appropriately. Tim Lightell is a genius. The New Orleans born and bred independent filmmaker comes to Seattle by way of LA, Portland, Kenneth Anger, Jean Cocteau, Ken Russell, Hollywood, and more. His biggest endeavor, so far, Manbaby, has finally hit the screens after over a decade in the making. Watch it, more than once. Let it soak in, process it, and be changed by its wise insight. Don't be fooled by the optics, this is not a single focus movie about the long-existing kitchy trend relating to a form of fantasy fun where domination exists as placing a grown man back into the imprisonment of a nursery life. This movie is about life. Its about me. Its about you. Bravo, Tim Lightell. We can't wait for more!

This was a great movie. The story line was filled with plot twist that kept me on my toes. The story line also had so much depth, at first I thought because of the stand up comedy in the beginning it would be lighthearted but the story ran deep and the motives of everyones character played a major part in the story being rich with mystery and drama. The cast was great they really kept me in tuned with the story with their great performances. And the overall quality of the film was great. The sound was clear and the music was on point with the scene especially the intense scenes. The ending was really good as well, it tied up the story very well.
