“Compelling and original. Ripple Effect tears the veils off from the outset and keeps tearing until the characters - and audience - have been swept through their own high-drama ripple effect. Enjoyable alone for watching Forest Whitaker, Virginia Madsen and Caland.” – Jay Levin, LA Weekly

“This is one film you should not miss. Forest Whitaker’s performance alone is worth seeing this for. This is a thought-provoking and powerful film… beautiful… fantastic.”  - VideoViews.org
