About me:
"One of the strongest, well made, generally effective, debut feature dramas I've seen in several years. Holt and Nicole succeed very well in creating an intriguing main character."
- IndieWIRE's DIY Filmmaker Sujewa
"While Steven Soderbergh had other targets in mind with The Girlfriend Experience, Cookies & Cream remains a more honest and absorbing exploration of this undeniably loaded topic. It’s a great example of what tiny budget cinema can—and should—do."
- Michael Tully - HammertoNail.com
"Jace Nicole was downright perfect...perfect acting from the leads, and an enjoyable soundtrack...its about as close to perfection as a film could get."
- MoviesMadeMe.com
“A touching film with a lot of depth and an incredible sense of weight. Holt is a breath of fresh air and projects a unique and somewhat uncanny style of filmmaking that reminded me of the late 80’s and early 90’s. It had such meaning behind it that I felt as though I was right there alongside the characters. A terrific experience.”
- TcwReviews.com
"A good film, told from the heart. Although an interesting character study, the supporting actors also come to life."
- commonfilm.org
"Cookies & Cream pulls off a rare feat as it deftly tells the story of an independent woman making her own way in a career that creates its own set of obstacles."
- Ron Moore - TheExaminer.com
"Jace Nicole was fantastic. She was subtle, honest and human and believe me, THAT AINT EASY."
- ibuildsandcastles.com
"A strikingly visual film, full of fantastic performances from everyone in the cast, and a magnificent musical score. It stays in your mind well after seeing it because it offers a vantage point not often shown in cinema with pornography itself as an afterthought."
- RogueCinema.com
"This sort of character study is quite difficult to achieve and it’s a testament to both the writing and the acting that the film accomplishes so much. Cookies & Cream does more than any other film I’ve seen to humanize the people working in the adult entertainment industry."
- PulpMovies.com
"Aside from a somewhat RACY and VULGAR introductory scene, the movie is presented very tastefully given the subject matter. Cookies & Cream tells a very poignant tale. Jace Nicole is a scene-stealing driving force as Carmen."
- MovieRoomReviews.com
"A fantastic feature debut from an emerging talent; the ensemble cast give A+ performances led by Jace Nicole, a star in the making."
- Jason Turley - Director of the Sexy International Film Festival
"Holt has a great story to tell, and has made an intelligent and compassionate drama."
- Sonic-Cinema.com
"Great acting and an excellent musical score. We need more films like this."
- LadiesFilmClub.blogspot.com
“An intelligent, thoughtful, strange and wonderful film featuring a divinely nuanced and balanced performance from Nicole and her supporting cast.”
- TheIndependentCritic.com – Richard Propes
