Critic Reviews
-
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Each segment ... is polished, succinctly developed and well-acted.
-
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
Features a quartet of efforts more reflective of the filmmakers' career aspirations than of a desire for meaningful expression.
-
Dave Kehr, New York Times
Requires only four titles for its 87-minute running time, a sign of how much more substantial and ambitious work in the field has become.
-
Gene Seymour, Newsday
Mixed bag.
-
Dennis Lim, Village Voice
While Strand's gay-shorts series took a tentative step toward maturity with 2000's Boys Life 3, this fourth anthology represents a full-blown regression.
