This is a fine movie tribute to juggalos and the misfits of society. It manages to get in some dogs at local police and the hierarchy of small town criminals. Some great music backs a heartwarming bro story that progresses more or less as expected, no surprises and no innovation, just solid plot development coupled with some bizarre twists and a little blood along the journey. The missus fell asleep due to the late night viewing but it will beon again soon after we first watch the magnificent juggalos doco that was out last year or the year before. Insane clown posse are not my style of music but their followers ethos is heartwarming.

I saw Off Ramp at the New Orleans Film Festival last year with no expectations, and I fell in love with this movie. I believe that everyone can find something in this film to relate to. I grew up in a small town in Mississippi, and Off Ramp paints a perfect picture of what it's like to be different in the Bible Belt. Watching Trey and Silas on their journey to the carnival is the most fun I've had watching a movie in a long time. I think that a great movie can make you cry and laugh at the same time, and Off Ramp definitely delivers!! I'm so glad this film exists. I'm excited to watch again!!!

OK ... I'd never heard of Juggalos before watching this so, yes I'm old, or something ... I have heard of Insane Clown Posse, though I can't remember any of their music ... But that doesn't matter ... The characters in this are so much more than any stereotype ... Have the american government / fbi really.catagorized these guys as.gangs of interest !!! ... That is pathetic ... Anyway, what we have here is a tale of people who are bright enough to choose who they count as family and are honourable and loyal to each other in an honest way, from the heart, not from brainwashing ,,, When you look at the state of a lot of america these day, this attitude is the sane one, rather than a large proportion of the vacuous masses who seem to be blindly shambling along, manipulated by delusional freaks with loads of money and no real care or understanding of reality ... Watch this ... Its a real superhero film.

I caught Off Ramp at the Boston Underground Film Festival back in March and was absolutely delighted by this quirky comedy. I haven't laughed this hard during a feature film in years, and what is even more amazing about the movie is that the humor wasn't even the best part. I sat through the movie thinking damn the lighting is incredible. After the film, Nathan Tape the director came up to speak, and he mentioned what he did for a living. He is a professional gaffer. Well, damn, no wonder why the lighting was so awesome. Anyway, I hope this film finds an audience and leads to Nathan being able to make another movie. Sorry, I didn't talk to you at the festival, Nathan, and sorry I didn't give this movie a 10. 9 is pretty darn good though.

In short, Off Ramp is a a beautifully shot story of life and love told through the lens of a subculture I knew almost nothing about : the Juggalos. While I don't see myself going out and painting my face or listening to a ton of Insane Clown Posse records as a result of watching the movie, I was truly moved by the writing and the messages of unconditional love, survival, and family. The performances were also super strong across the board. The casting was impeccable via Hunter McHugh - the leads, Jon Oswald and Scott Turner Schofield brought a beautiful relationship with each other and the Juggalo family to life, and Jared Bankens, Ashley Smith, and Miles Doleac left distinct impressions. I hope that this film catches fire with audiences.

I've never felt more compelled to write a film review. A friend brought this screening idea up to me and we went expecting it to be something to laugh at. Turns out, it's a genuinely earnest, surprisingly wholesome, and impressively executed little movie I'm so glad I saw! It was very clearly done with love and care by people who had something to say and they said it well! We watched the new Crow remake the day before and it's remarkable how much better this film is by comparison. Two movies trying to have the same emotional core, but one was done with love and the other was The Crow (2024). I don't want to give anything away, but I wanted to tip my hat to everyone involved. Give this scrappy little gem an honest watch and I think you'll be glad you did.

OFF RAMP captivated my attention the entire time! Twists and turns that lead to unpredictable outcomes throughout this movie yet full of wittiness between two friends that had you feeling apart of their inside jokes! Laughter including morbid humor, moments of sorrow, situations that shocked your brain into "wait, that normally doesn't happen in movies" to understanding the full extent of loyalty, love and acceptance within the Juggalo Family. Do not pass the opportunity to watch this movie. It is one that seems to cover a lot of issues at hand between the misconceptions of people that chose a different journey in life to be accepted with exactly who they are at the core of their heart.
