Chicago Cab had its premiere at the Chicago International Film Festival in October 1997, where it was nominated for a Golden Hugo Award. It was not released in movie theatres until September 18, 1998, when it played in two venues and earned $23,946.[2]
Reception
Template:Rotten Tomatoes prose
The film received criticism for having unrealistic taxi passengers, since all of the characters have an exciting story.[1] Roger Ebert gave it three stars out of four, saying "Drama is always made of the emotional high points."[1] Emanuel Levy gave a positive review: "A compassionate portrait of a lonely cabbie is at the center of the serio comedy ... [the passengers] highlight perceptively the funny, scary and dreary moments in a typical working day of a city cab driver."[3]
Home media
Chicago Cab was released on DVD on April 7, 2009.[4]
