Occasionally distributors opt not to screen films for the press, presumably reasoning that their product will find its intended audience with or without the benefit of critical input.

Story of a man who's reluctant to tell his fiancee that all his blood relatives are dwarfs, "Tiptoes" comes up short in many departments.

When you close your eyes, what do you see? For me, it’s always been a black screen, sometimes with the static of a crackling TV. My dreams are tangles of thoughts, but when I try to remember them, I can’t actually see anything. I don’t need to pinch myself to see if I’m dreaming, because my dreams never resemble reality. I have a condition called aphantasia, mind blindness. I can see clearly with my eyes but not in my mind.
