Sundance Film Festival Comments on Aaron Stanford's performance in
Tadpole
If you're a fan of the three Manhattan W's--Woody Allen,
Wes Anderson, and Whit Stillman, that is--you're going to love
Tadpole. ...the thing you really take home with you is
Aaron Stanford's career-making performance. A 25-year-old Rutgers
University graduate and current resident of Union City, New Jersey,
Stanford gets Oscar, the 15-year-old lovestruck prep-schooler,
just right.-- Jeffrey Wells, Reel.com, January 14, 2002.
Newcomer Aaron Stanford has impeccable comic timing as the
precocious young hero.-- Newsweek on-line, January 19, 2002.
Stanford is consistently brilliant in a role that could easily play
smug or brittle, but he's got gravitas without weariness, portraying
fixation without becoming overbearing.-- Ray Pride, Indiewire.com

jump from a $150,000 digital video feature to playing the flame-throwing
mutant Pyro in the enormous big-studio pic X-Men 2."
