Critic Reviews

  • John A. Nesbit, Old School Reviews

    intensified examination of the eternal human comedy

  • Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

  • Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews

    There's little substance to the dialogue or the plotless narrative, but the intense actors seem to put everything into their performance and give it an air that something big is taking place.

  • Jeff Vice, Deseret News, Salt Lake City

    Little more than a soap opera. And it's not a very good one at that.

  • Shirley Sealy, Film Journal International

    Not being among the cognoscenti, all we can say is, qui sais?
