“Immersive and Compelling”
“David Blech was the top gunslinger”
“A trip down the rabbit hole that’s as devastating as it is transfixing.”
“The Blech Effect, David Greenwald's intimate portrait of a jail-bound fraudster, doesn't hold him up as a villain or a clown.”
“The Blech Effect follows a protagonist all too self-aware yet still unable to control his worst impulses, a wife and mother who is both a saint and enabler, and a beloved child heartbreaking in his beauty and disability.”
"Makes you think and feel."
“The Blech Effect is worth watching for its intensely intimate insight into the personal life of a man who gambled everything for success”.
“…artfully weaves the extreme ups and downs of Blech’s mental state with the ups and downs of his life.”
— Cinemacy
“The documentary does a great job of building tension. Whether rooting for him to finally succeed or wanting Blech to fail yet again, the last act is drama filled.”

“It’s a dose of reality you won’t forget and one of the most honest documentaries you are likely to see.”
“The Blech Effect is a nuanced human tragedy captured on screen…compelling.”
