Critic Reviews

  • Michael Dequina, TheMovieReport.com

    Sharon Stone once likened dating Yoakam to 'eating a dirt sandwich.' Viewing his directorial debut, it's apparent that she was being too kind--after all, just watching his film is like eating a sh*t sandwich.

  • Jaime N. Christley, Apollo Guide

    It's best not to ask too many questions - better just to switch your brain to stand-by and enjoy the show.

  • Peter Henne, Film Journal International

    The conflicts, vistas, rhythm and mood are of a piece, but not every personality or circumstance is fully thought through.
