reservoir dolls: the whole bloody affair
SARAH LAZARUS certified reviewer June 08, 2025
An exciting journey exploring the tropes of the female characters in Quentin Tarantino's expansive cinematic universe. Lani takes us on a wildly entertaining ride though her own adaptation of some of Tarantino's most iconic characters, even Mikey Madison's cameo in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood(one of my favorite parts of the show, sit in the front row if you want to be in the splash zone). This is an extremely fun show that is action packed throughout and sits at a perfect 30 minutes. "Reservoir Dolls" rewrites the narrative and makes an incredibly interesting commentary on the through line of all these iconic fem-fatales... An unrealistic stoical nature and overtly male catered sensuality in the face of danger and violence as seen thro... full review

An absurd retrospective of Tarantino's films and reputation. Lani takes Tarantino down one peg at a time to hilarious effect -- and it leaves you wanting more. Every very specific reference to his films is so satisfying at the same time that Lani dissects them with a feminist lens.... full review

Welcome to Reservoir Dolls, the solo show that brilliantly parodies and dissects the female characters in Quentin Tarantino's movies. To begin, the concept for this show is utterly clever. Even those not familiar with Tarantino's films will find amusement in seeing how writer/performer Lani Harms and director, Laurie Magers bring these ladies to life. Harms' show is divided into chapters that focus on different characters across five of Tarantino's movies. And whether she is portraying Mia Wallace (Pulp Fiction), Melanie (Jackie Brown), Mikey Madison (her death scenes in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), Bridget von Hammersmark (Inglorious Basterds), or Beatrix Kiddo (Kill Bill), she does so with full conviction and a smile. The show do... full review

This is what Fringe is about! Lani is a dynamite performer and she does justice to a genius idea. A tribute to how women are portrayed in the media while also holding it up to critical light. Fast moving and fun. A standout show! Bravo Lani... full review
