A tenure-obsessed English professor accidentally takes a student's life. Desperate to protect his career, he makes a fateful decision, sending his life spiralling out of control.

This sharp, darkly comic satire that successfully balances absurd humour with genuine tension. The story embraces increasingly outrageous twists while maintaining a surprisingly grounded emotional core. Writer-director David Liban maintains a consistent tone throughout, blending pitch-black comedy with suspense without letting the film descend into cartoonish farce. Timothy McCracken's performance as the increasingly desperate professor keeps the escalating madness believable, while supporting performances add to the film's humour and charm. “Publish or Perish” fiendishly clever and wickedly amusing. – Film Threat
