      Ken Hanke Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Worthwhile, but more interesting than good. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 15, 2008 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Aug 10, 2005 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews The overriding fault for this art-house film was that it is not poetic. Rated: C+ Sep 24, 2001 Full Review Arthur Lazere culturevulture.net The film becomes too much of a one-note rant, ultimately shutting down the viewer's empathy rather than engaging it. May 5, 2001 Full Review Jorge Avila Andrade Moviola Mantiene la caracterstica ripsteniana de presentar un mundo cruel y desesperanzado, en el que viven las clases ms marginadas de nuestra sociedad. Rated: 4/4 Mar 16, 2001 Full Review Read all reviews
