Critic Reviews

  • Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid

    [An] astringently funny second feature.

  • Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com

    Reflecting idiosyncratic sensibility, Hal Hartley's families don't look like Hollywood or TV families: When a father calls his daughter a slut, and she slaps him, he drops dead.

  • Derek Smith, Cinematic Reflections

    A bold film that defies logic and the rules of screenwriting

  • Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews

    It's Woody Allen with gentile instead of Jewish neurotic characters.

  • Walter Chaw, Film Freak Central

    Best comedy of the nineties

    I liked it.

  • John B

  • Marion R


    I saw this movie a while back on IFC and I really liked it. This movie is quirky and the dialogue is great.
