Critic Reviews
-
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Had the curtain come down 10 minutes sooner, it would have done so with a satisfying thump instead of a soggy swish.
-
Michelle Orange, Village Voice
The structuring allegory's invocation of familial bonds and immigrant burdens grows stilted: It doesn't collapse this delicate film, but it can't quite hold it up, either.
-
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
This may be the first film ever made about the seething rage of the disenfranchised that succeeds in lulling you to sleep.
-
David Noh, Film Journal International
This unnecessarily grim study of immigrants suffers from a deadly pace and an even more deadly creeping pretentiousness.
-
Andrew Schenker, Slant Magazine
If you haven't got anything new to say, at least find an interesting way to say it.
