Critic Reviews

  • Todd McCarthy, Variety

    Far more infatuated with its own cleverness than audiences are likely to be.

  • James Greenberg, Hollywood Reporter

    Clever and moderately entertaining, film is a puzzle that will find some supporters as surely as it will sharply divide audiences.

  • Eric D. Snider, EricDSnider.com

    Acknowledging the fact that you're a tedious, self-indulgent storyteller doesn't excuse the fact that you're a tedious, self-indulgent storyteller.

  • Jamie Tipps, Film Threat

    For those who enjoy the intellectualism, imagery and melancholy of works such as The Royal Tenenbaums or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, this is a film worth checking out.

  • Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com

    Lask naver got fomral education but he's certainly movie savvy for his complex and convoluted debut borrows heavily from the recent cycle of postmodern metaphyical meta-narrative films of Michel Gondry, Spike Jonze, Kaufman, and even Marc Forster
