Andrea Gronvall Chicago Reader 02/25/2010
Director Alexis Dos Santos stressed improvisation, and his scenes have a lingering emotional rawness, but the handheld camera work left me feeling as woozy as the characters appear to be. Go to Full Review Anna Smith Empire Magazine 12/11/2009

If it weren't for the kick-ass pop soundtrack, with tunes like Hot Monkey, I would have tuned out long before the last reel. Go to Full Review Film4 Staff Film4 12/11/2009

02/21/2021 One of the best movies ever made. Where it might be rough around the edges production-wise, it is engrossing dramatically speaking and the characters are so real and pure and wonderful. I will watch anything the director does and I hope he makes many more films. The music, the scene, A+++++ See more 04/30/2015 Simple, real and beautiful. See more 12/13/2012 It's got some good music, is loosely scripted and shot in a fragmentary style with some clever bits of observation. Overall it reminds those of us of a certain age that it wasn't that great being young, confused, having lots of energetic sex and getting off one's face. Good acting from the leads generates sympathy for the inevitable confusion of being newly fledged into an adult world. See more 10/03/2012 INDIE GEN INDIE GEM INDIE GEM. I fucking loved it. It was colorful, fun, cute, sexy, a bit melancholy at times, not saying that's a bad thing, and finally it was absolutely perfect. Perfect can't even describe it. Ah, I fucking loved it. See more 08/15/2012 thought its was quite a good film, well directed, quite quirky, i loved the scene when they were dacning around junk to "we are not the same" by the good shoes. See more 05/20/2012 slow but worth a watch See more Read all reviews
