Reception
[edit]Chris Salce of Film Threat gave the film a score of 8/10 and wrote that it has a "very good" cast that "really fit together", as well as "pretty well-done cinematography, an interesting plot and a pretty decent script."[2]
Gary M. Kramer of Salon.com wrote that the film "yields moments that are enjoyable and meaningful as the adept cast members play up their characters' foibles and insecurities", and that it "lands as a mostly successful tragicomedy."[3]
Gary Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times called the film "uninvolving" and "ill-conceived" and wrote that it "plays more like a tedious, ad-hoc collection of indie-ironic scenes and moments than as any kind of fully baked narrative."[4]
Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that the film is "so understated in both its dramatic and comedic aspects that it fails to make any real impression whatsoever", but praised Slaysman's performance.[1]
