Ryan “Holli-wood” Holliger is a charismatic, pit bull of a man with six kids by five different women. His best friend AccRite is a rapper and laborer, dealing with an unimaginable loss. They have big dreams of making their own movie about fatherhood in their working class Missouri town. Over the course of one pivotal, madcap year, the film becomes something else entirely: a vehicle for accountability, healing and self discovery for their families.

Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter 2d
Greene knows all the tricks -- while attempting to create a transparent work that turns each character into an active participant in the filmmaking process... Such an approach coaxes Holliger and Midgyett into facing some of their many demons. Go to Full Review Hannah Strong Little White Lies 2d
Greene’s film is that rare beast which feels like it belongs to the people within it, so much so that even the dizzy looseness of the narrative structure merits forgiveness. Go to Full Review Guy Lodge Variety 3d
A scrappy, agitated, spikily entertaining study of an extended family with a whole community’s worth of backstory, present-tense drama and diverging plans for the future. Go to Full Review Jo-Ann Titmarsh Next Best Picture 1d
5/10
Unfortunately, Holliger’s life and Greene’s film are not quite interesting enough to merit all this screentime. Go to Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest 2d
"Too Much Sugar" succeeds at showing a father trying their best as Ryan has hoped, but delivers a real jolt when presenting how messy that can actually be. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
