“Billy Samoa Saleebey’s “Rolling” a feature about eight Southern California youths caught in the throes of Ecstacy addiction, fits the bill nicely. Saleebey’s camerawork is stylish, and his script is briskly paced and concise…”
SF Examiner
“The giddy highs and crushing lows of Ecstasy use are felt by a group of people looking to escape their troubles in this well done indie drama.”
NY Times
“ROLLING is a consistently interesting take on a somewhat modern epidemic: Ecstasy (or “X”) addiction.”
Entertainment Insiders
*****
“it’s hard not to lose yourself in the entrancing world of “Rolling.” Ultimately, “Rolling” achieves what it sets out to do – it makes popping 2 MDMA, dancing your ass off and waking up the next morning in a dumpster seem like a sexy and cool proposition.”
Manhattan Movie Magazine
“The saying goes, “this is such-and-such on steroids” when we try to describe something in life that’s been enhanced with a hard or intense edge. After viewing Rolling, it’s easy to say “this is a film on ecstasy.” With the cinematography techniques utilized, the emotional stories explored, and the familiar sounds heard, this movie is truly a trip.”
