The Casserole Club (also known as Sex, Lies, and Sugar) [1] is a 2011 American drama film, directed by Steve Balderson. The film won five awards at the 2011 New York Visionfest. In this film set against the backdrop of the 1969 moonwalk, a group of suburban housewives hold dinner parties to test out their new casseroles. As boozy flirtation begins to dominate the gatherings - and more than recipes start getting swapped - the story shifts from stylized humor to a drama about irresponsibility, selfishness and damaged people.

Reviews

Danielle Riendeau from After Ellen gave a positive review of the film, saying the film "offers a bizarre, compelling, and ultimately fascinating ride through the outwardly pretty yet-horrific lives of “normal people”." and "the soundtrack is as kitschy and catchy as the visuals are bright". [3]

Jonathan Hickman from Daily Film Fix made note that he was not a "fan of the visual scope and digital look of the film", but mentioned it was Steve Balderson's best film to date. [4]

Film Threat's Mark Bell gave the film a four out of five, writing a positive review and calling the acting "wonderful. [5]
