Critic Reviews

  • Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times

    Not since Flashdance has a lobster dinner been seasoned with so much unspoken emotion.

  • V.A. Musetto, New York Post

    Director-writer Urszula Antoniak, in her first big-screen feature, keeps dialogue to a minimum while concentrating on visual style.

  • Nick Schager, Time Out New York

    [Follows] a familiar path that's energized by subtle lead performances.

  • Ernest Hardy, Village Voice

    The whole thing is a pleasure to watch, though, because Verbeek and Rea telegraph volumes of subtext beneath the dialogue they're given, speaking to the human need for emotional and physical contact -- and the fear of the responsibilities and costs.

  • Elias Savada, Film Threat

    ...a nice debut film, deliberately crafted, placidly powerful, and sensibly touching, with a dash of stubborn frivolity tossed in for effective measure.
