Critic Reviews

Robert Koehler, Variety
The film tends to dawdle where it could be penetrating, and the telltale sign is an open ending -- after a quirkily staged climax -- that feels more vapid than fascinating.

David Cornelius, eFilmCritic.com
Our anti-hero fails to be interesting in his unpleasantness, and his universe fails to inspire any sense of drama.
