January 04, 2018
At a lean 90 minutes, Quest never drags, but it's also begging to be extended into that update of An American Family which, for some reason, has never materialized.
February 22, 2018
Quest is one of those great movies that captures the turbulent currents of American life by zooming in on a single household.

Olshefski captures the frustration, resignation and determination that leaves you struck by this family -- average in their concerns but extraordinary in their dedication to one another.
February 23, 2018
There is no grand narrative or point to be hammered home; instead, Olshefski delivers a subtle, sincere and honest portrait of barely making ends meet in modern America.
