REVIEWS & INTERVIEWS
"Director Amy Glazer’s straightforward approach to this adaptation of Juliet Bell’s book benefits greatly from the presence of several veteran performers, especially the always reliable Holland Taylor."
December 1st, 2017
Co-writer/director Amy Glazer respects the potential softness of the picture, doing what she can to preserve Bell’s sensitive subplots and defined characterization. It’s not urgent work, but for family audiences, “Kepler’s Dream” is genuine and nicely performed, with Glazer working to combat melodrama as much as possible as she juggles Bell’s plotting, which moves from a broken family story to a detective movie of sorts, adding some surprises to the mix.
"Based on the 2012 YA novel by Juliet Bell, Kepler’s Dream is a study in family dynamics that’s sweet without being too saccharine. A city kid who doesn’t know a palomino from a pinto, Ella shows up to her grandmother’s New Mexico home in a cartoonish cowboy hat, inspiring snark from the locals."

"Though best known as a theatre director, with a long line of credits that includes The Understudy, The Model Apartment, The God of Hell, My Old Lady, Froze and The Music Lesson, Amy Glazer’s quickly – and some might say, quietly – making huge waves in film. With several films already under her belt (including Ball Lightning, Drifting Elegant and Seducing Charlie Barker) and a fourth, Kepler’s Dream, due for release December 1, someone’s IMDB starmeter is on the verge of skyrocketing."
"This Winter, what we treasure brings us together in Kepler’s Dream! Sean Patrick Flanery (The Boondock Saints, Powder), Kelly Lynch (Mr.Mercedes, Charlie’s Angels), and Holland Taylor (The Truman Show, Two and-a-Half Men) star in director Amy Glazer’s highly anticipated feature adaptation of the hit YA novel by Juliet Bell, in theaters and InDemand December 1st from Leomark Studios."

"Aside from working on stage, Amy is comfortable directing films which can be found on Netflix and VOD. Thus far, her films (“Ball Lightning,” “Drifting Elegant,” “Seducing Charlie Barker”) have all been based on plays that she had worked on previously, thus securing the bonds between the stage and the screen."
