The Casserole Club

The Casserole Club 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.

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.[3]
