Wannabe filmmaker Miles (Kyp Malone) and aging rocker Roxxy (Amy Davis) are on the verge of becoming has-beens but refuse to give up the ghost without a good dose of public histrionics. Moritsugu's use of analog rather than digital media lends a gritty edge to his terrifically trashy satire.

, Los Angeles Times
As fast and energetic as it is funny.
-
Ken Eisner, Variety
Will only rock the worlds of similarly youthful boho types on alt-cinema sideroutes.

Ted Shen, Chicago Reader
The characters in this video, denizens of the San Francisco art fringe, seem like they're heavily sedated.
-
Edward Crouse, Village Voice
Gripping, strangely beautiful, and poignant.
-
MaryAnn Johanson, Flick Filosopher
[U]nless honest intentions and street cred are enough for you, give this one a pass, because it doesn't quite pay off in the end.
