...the train station not only confines the drama but comes close to flat-out stopping it in its tracks.

Guest Artist feels like a typical one-act, intelligent but not especially distinctive or compelling.

Timothy Busfield's adaptation of Daniels' stage play benefits from the two leads, and will particularly appeal to theater lovers.

Guest Artist is a small, indie production that deserves its fest success and deserves to find a wider audience.

Jeff Daniels is riveting here. Not only is his performance among his very best, the screenplay has echoes of Aaron Sorkin to it.

The movie was boring and slow moving. The lines were shallow and boring. Do not see this film. It is a complete waste of time. There is not one redeeming factor in this film. Pure boredom that makes absolutely no sense, and has no purpose.
