Reviews:
“I would have thought that it would be a B-grade movie shot with momentum based on the concept of distorted propensity, but this is more literary than I imagined. What is interesting is that the main character knows sharks well. Dissing the Jaws series, lamenting shark fin dishes, and more, his witty and venomous remarks will make you laugh every time.” Book Stand [translated from Japanese]
“Just listening to the outline of the work, in which the woman’s monologue lasts for just under two hours, may seem boring, but the content of the monologue is also rich in wit and there are many variations of the tricks […] not only for those who like “shark movies”, but also for those who cast a cynical gaze on the genre of “shark movies”. Club Typhoon [translated from Japanese]
” …writer/director Clarke is brilliant in the way she lays out Chase’s existential dilemma. I’ve seen many WTF films that are too smart for their own good, but Clarke put in the work honing the script into a coherent story buried deep into her lead character’s “ramblings.” […] No Shark is not for everyone. I can almost hear the complaining, “It’s just a girl in a bikini droning on and on about nothing.” However, for fans of independent or arthouse cinema, you’ll be pleasantly surprised…” 8/10, Film Threat
