“The Tip is a tale of escalation about how far you can push a person before they reach their breaking point. Peter Vazquez indeed builds that pressure in both story and performance. The best part is that we can relate. Tristan and Bianca stay even keel, but it’s the incremental tension that Vazquez portrays in Arno that makes the film… With the use of light and camera angles, you forget it’s merely an apartment door and three actors.”

“The Tip delivers a perfectly timed pizza prank—fresh, cheesy, and with a hint of heat that builds until it’s just right. Peter Vazquez cranks the pressure, turning a simple doorstop delivery into a cringeworthy escalation. If you’ve ever been pushed to your limit and fantasized about what you’d really say or do, this short scratches that vengeful itch.”

“Peter Vazquez’s 12-minute The Tip feels fresh. Though marketed as a comedy, it is at least a dramedy because the only people laughing are the villains in this Sisyphean narrative about a pizza delivery guy being daily humiliated by a deranged man-child and his coolly sociopathic girlfriend.”
