Critical reception

The film premiered at UFVA Student Film and Video Festival in Philadelphia (USA), September 1996.

Bowl of Oatmeal was well received by critics and gained recognition among lovers of underground movies. Especially underground film festivals, such as, the ones in Chicago and New York were very supportive of this film. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1997_New_York_Underground_Film_Festival]

Michael Simmons of L.A. Weekly writes: "Bowl of Oatmeal, a rare group effort led by Dietmar Post, is the tale of a hermit in the throes of a nervous breakdown who receives advice from a sly, articulate bowl of oatmeal with a Bostonian accent."

British critic Rob Daniel writes: “Bowl of Oatmeal serves as a dress rehearsal for the final film, but in its own right stands as unsettling cinema. An agoraphobic loner inexorably loses his mind within the confines of a bed-sit. Not even the revelation that a bowl of unappetizing oatmeal is taunting him alleviates thegloom. As the high fiber breakfast continues its needling, the man develops a keen interest indead meat, but the film takes this into an area unexpected and haunting.”
