Critic Reviews
-
Matt Weitz, Dallas Morning News
The coincidences are almost all supremely transparent and the characters gratingly quirky, two faults that committed acting almost redeems. But not quite.
-
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
The performances are solid, even when the roles are aggressively whimsical.
-
, Los Angeles Times
There are a couple of affecting moments here and there, but they are lost amid more than two snail-paced hours of often maudlin tedium.
-
Joe Leydon, Variety
Warm-hearted but clear-eyed indie effort richly repays audience patience during deliberately paced and provocatively allusive early scenes with a cumulative emotional impact that is immensely satisfying.
-
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
An overly ambitious, overly complex and overly long opus that bites off more than it can chew.
