November 21, 2009Just excellent, it is a creative and artistic movie with surrealistics features that make it so likely. I found all details were carefully kept. The end is just perfect.

The movie is lightweight, as it should be. It doesn't get all supercharged. Ben and Sharon, despite setbacks, are delighted to be admired by such wonderful partners, and we are happy for them. full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
A sleek little meditation on beauty, desire, love and time. Now and then, it's fairly sophisticated stuff. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
It's awkwardly drawn out to feature length with not-truly-comic secondary characters on the supermarket team, and go-nowhere incidents like a soccer match with a rival store and an unresolved encounte... full review
