WHERE TO LAND - DIR. HAL HARTLEY
“Critics Pick!” Glenn Heath Jr., The Film Stage
“Score: 3/4 stars” Seth Katz, Slant Magazine
“Score: 4.5/5 stars - The supporting ensemble operates with the comfortable rhythm of a repertory company. Robert John Burke brings his characteristic gravitas to Leonard, transforming what could have been a minor role into a meditation on stewardship and care. Kim Taff’s Muriel registers both the frustration of an artist trapped by commercial success and the genuine concern of a partner facing perceived loss. Edie Falco appears as Joe’s ex-wife Clara, delivering Hartley’s characteristically intellectual dialogue with naturalistic ease that makes philosophical discussions feel like ordinary conversation.” Marcus Thorne, Gazettely
“The film introduces the talents of a younger generation of actors freshly tackling Hartley’s much-noted musical dialogue and graceful physical slapstick.” Sasha Stone, Awards Daily.com
“None of the comic dialogue is strenuous, but it’s abundant, and the teeming, toppling cast […] quietly, impressively lavish themselves on it: The performances bring it along, and Hartley’s sound design stays close to their voices. These are impossible skeins of language, and yet not a single actor puts a syllable wrong.” Ray Pride, New City Film
PRAYER FOR THE FRENCH REPUBLIC - PIONEER THEATRE COMPANY
“Whether moping across the floor in her pajamas or spouting ideological hypocrisies from the dining room, Kim Taff (Elodie Benhamou) is the unexpected unicorn cast member. At first, Taff comes across as the stereotype of young adult cynicism, but as the play progresses, her interpretation of Elodie gains greater nuance and more complex realism. Taff’s diatribe at the club with Molly very nearly steals the show.”
Jason and Alisha Hagey, Front Row Reviewers
“Kim Taff’s portrayal of Elodie was electric. Elodie’s hilarious, lengthy monologue at Molly was a deeply Millennial sounding diatribe. Taff elevated the character as each, “and this is my real point” that sank Elodie deeper into the rabbit holes and echo chambers of the character’s thoughts. Taff played well the sullen daughter who knows too well her own struggles, but finds that the power of knowledge fails to be enough to fix problems internal or external. Taff’s ability to go from zero to sixty and back again at a moment’s notice was fantastic work. I was impressed at the different aspects of the character, and Taff conveying Elodie’s unspoken emotional journey from before the play began through the final scene.” Scott Savage, Utah Theatre Bloggers
“Act II brings unforgettable monologues from Kim Taff [...] stirring a mix of emotions.” Austin McKay Burt, Salt Lake Magazine
“Taff's wonderfully motor-mouthed Elodie” Scott Renshaw, City Weekly
THE WOLVES - DALLAS THEATRE CENTER
“Rounding out the team, as #7 and #14, Amber Ross and Kim Taff play a pair of best friends who provide the show with one of its most moving threads, both actresses switching between steely stubbornness and raw emotion as the play progresses to an uncertain conclusion.”
Zac Thriffiley, Broadway World
SAINT MICHAEL’S PLAYHOUSE
Miracle On South Division Street: “Four engaging professional actors bring out the warmth of this situation comedy [...] The performers themselves are the bright spots in this production. Kim Taff plays Ruth as a nervous ball of energy. She gives the character nice sparkles of hope as she talks about her theater plans […] Taff has being on edge down to a T." Alex Brown, Seven Days VT
You Can’t Take It With You: “Kim Taff gives Essie just enough skill to allow her to keep dreaming, and enough awkwardness to earn big laughs. [...] The comedy bubbles like a fountain, thanks to the precision of 19 actors working as a team [...]"
