Andrea Gronvall Chicago Reader 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. Feb 25, 2010 Full Review Anna Smith Empire Magazine Light and entertaining, if a little clunky at times. Rated: 3/5 Dec 11, 2009 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian An easy-going, garrulous, likable piece. Rated: 3/5 Dec 11, 2009 Full Review David Harris Spectrum Culture A subtle, gentle movie about emotional holes and what we do to fill them. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 11, 2019 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews 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. Rated: C+ Jan 27, 2011 Full Review Film4 Staff Film4 Stay away action fans, this is not a film for you. But if you identify with the lifestyles of these characters, you might just find this small dreamlike film speaks to you. Rated: 3/5 Dec 11, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

jaime h This is one of the greatest, rawest, purest indies ever made. We need more films from innovators like Alexis Dos Santos. This film should be a test of who you keep as friends... if they like it, they can stay, if they love it, they get it and can obviously stay, but if they don't get it or think it's shite, get rid of those loser fuckers Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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+++++ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Simple, real and beautiful. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
