Press Reviews

"Hudes has a fine grasp of the friction created by the social tectonic plates that shift according to the waves of gentrification and governance. Each of these characters is good company."
— Deadline

"[Daphne’s Dive] has a fierce compassion for its characters and an ardent love for Philadelphia’s diversity… There’s an unassailable heart to Hudes’ work."
— The Guardian (US)

"[A] slow-burning, vibrantly sketched portrait of a scruffy North Philly booze joint… As much a portrait of a gentrifying community as a splintering group of friends."
— Time Out New York
