Film.com review said "Despite the sometimes patchy moments The Brass Teapot by and large squeaks by as an enjoyable entertainment." The Playlist commented that "With the help of a talented cast, The Brass Teapot is able to coast on charm." Hitflix writes "It is apparent that Ramaa Mosley has a voice, and that The Brass Teapot is a focused, controlled piece of storytelling that displays real control". Wall Street Journal reviews says "Alice and John are good company — especially Alice, thanks to Ms. Temple's buoyant humor and lovely poignancy. The problem comes when the couple gets greedy, the gods grow angry and the tone turns dark. It doesn't stay dark, but getting back to the brightness is a painful process." Variety gave a more positive review for the film, saying that Mosley "makes her low-budget enterprise look as slick as most mid-range studio comedies, demonstrating herself a director with both imagination and technical ingenuity". The Brass Teapot holds 5 stars on Netflix and was nominated for International Critics' Award (2013) for The Brass Teapot and nominated, Discovery Award for The Brass Teapot (2013). ==Synopsis== The movie follows John (Michael Angarano) and Alice (Juno Temple), a down on their luck couple that comes across a magical brass teapot capable of providing them with money. The only catch is that they must harm themselves in order for the teapot to provide. They must then decide what they are willing to do in order to gain financial security. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Brass Teapot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
