"Hilarious and disturbing...entertains while raising deep questions!" Dr. Peter Singer - World-Renowned Philosopher, Princeton University
"An exhilarating and unsettling film echoing Nietzsche, Pasolini and Švankmajer." Institut Francais de Prague
"A film which has already built up a larger than life reputation...it is a unique
experience with many moments of shock, laughter, bewilderment and sadness,
which is what a film should evoke from a viewer, in any genre." Ryan Dyer - Canada's ABSOLUTE UNDERGROUND
"Supremely crafted, poetic, humorous, perverted...far more interesting than the David Lynch of today...undoubtedly a film that will be discussed for a very long time...Highly recommended." Alfred Eaker - Award-Winning American filmmaker
"Transcending genres and realities, Coming Soon is an exceptional, challenging experience!" Celluloid Breakfast
"One of the most controversial films of all time..." Artlurker.com
"A cinematic romp with deep meaning." Czech National Radio VLTAVA - leading classical music and cultural station
"Handled with an extraordinary dose of humor and lightness which, like the director's mentor, attempts to shatter barriers." Hospodářské Noviny - leading Czech economics daily
"This film is absolutely unique and without parallel in Czech cinema. Although this is the director's first effort, he is certain to emerge as a significant personality in the world of film."
Roudnické Noviny - regional newspaper
"We must warn you, this film will make you think whether you like it or not...The American director worked as assistant director and producer for Jan Švankmajer and the influence of this Czech artist can be felt from the get-go...This film is definitely worth seeing if only for the fact that you won't just have a great time." Radio WAVE - Czech National Radio's youth station
"Clearly the most original film to emerge from Czech cinematography in the past year." iDNES.cz - on-line version of MF Dnes, the leading Czech daily
"Believe me, it'll wake you up...I have the feeling I'll never see Prague the same way again...at times I thought it could have made a great episode of SOUTH PARK" FilmWeb.O2.cz
"A huge dose of controversy is brought to COMING SOON by its American Director, Sir Tijn Po...simultaneously illustrating the shift in social mores and the boundaries of controversy..." Association of Czech Film Clubs
"The film provides an easy transition to a pagan era...to help find our way back to a pre-industrial, pre-Christian period. That which is "coming soon" is
the transformation of man as a social creature, not just the
acceptance of another "alternative sexuality" - and this is both more
interesting, and potentially more disruptive, than the film's more explicit
subject." Mika Tenhovaara - Sweden's JUGEMANG.COM
"This film has many philosophical layers...I really liked it!" Jolka Krásná, RADIOŽURNÁL - Czech National Radio's mainstream program
"This film doesn't attempt to shock, but rather introduce questions, and it does so in a very distinct and novel fashion." Czech-Slovak Film Database
"A film that will genuinely surprise even those who think THEY can no longer be surprised...Conceptually unpredictable, original and full of true-to-life humor that toys with the viewer...After seeing this film, it's difficult to define the boundaries between normality and abnormality?! But I would definitely go see this 'documentary' again. Only 'religious or animal fanatics' can be offended." Nové Ústecké Přehledy - official website of the Ustí region
"The program mentioned a scandalous film which elicits radical responses - so we had to be there. The evening was oozing with sexuality...we left with open eyes and a much wider and many-layered perspective about this often ostracized and tabboo phenomenon..." www.nekultura.cz
"'Equality For All' could have been the leitmotif of COMING SOON in which the actress Marcela Kyselová shines...The theme is conveyed with an unusual amount of humor and light-heartedness." Aha! - leading Czech tabloid
"The very controversial documentary, COMING SOON, divided the lightly shocked audience into two camps. The Director Sir Tijn Po promised us a sequel, so perhaps we'll find out what happened to the murderers of the poor bull..." Czech National Radio - Věra Šmejkalová reporting on the LFŠ 2007
"Finally a film the whole family can enjoy. Even the pets!" Hawk Alfredson - (Swedish Painter) and Mia Hanson - (N.Y. Photographer)
"I left the theater feeling that I just saw a remarkable film. Make sure to see it if you can!" Milan Děžinský - Czech poet
"Everyone should see this film. Laura Betti would have kissed you for it." (note: COMING SOON is dedicated to Laura's memory) Radim Valak - film historian, Charles University
"You have to see this film at least twice." Ester Kočičková - iconic Czech actress, singer and moderator
"I spent the evening prior to "May Day" at a screening of an interesting film called COMING SOON...It served as quite an interesting prelude to this holiday of 'Spring Love.'" Doc. MUDr. Jaroslav Zvěřina CSc.- leading Czech sexologist and Member of the European Parliament
"People were inspired by the film series 'Coming Soon,' I, II a III, which destroyed the barriers of tabboo." Pataphysicist Edmond de Factor Lapsus, in his novela 'Bestiality' (Dibuk 2007)
"Ingmar Bergman meets Old Yeller - required viewing for all animal lovers. Woof woof!" Scott Griffin - N.Y. Producer

MySpace Feedback
"A philosophical masterpiece...There are clear moments of genius...One of the Best movies I have ever seen...For me it was an expressionistic work of art that lingers long after the individual scenes fade away...Any thing that makes me think so much today is a masterpiece for me...It's like a little bug that enters your brain and slowly nibbles away at your previous opinions...FINALLY!!! A Czech film that isn't afraid to bite!...I can't remember a gutsier film in years...I firmly believe that it will become an historical milestone in the history of zoophile rights and society in general...This film is as much about zoophilia as Orwell's ANIMAL FARM is about animals...Hard to describe but easy to recommend!!!...This is a film many people will use when they have to explain some unusual desires...Certainly the best Czech film I can remember seeing...If it's a fake documentary it's genius. If it's a real documentary than it's the ballsiest thing that I've seen years... Great, great film!!!..." IMDB
