Kevin Thomas

Los Angeles Times

A film that is too often merely tedious.

Rated: 2/5

Boxoffice Magazine

Apparently Zendel was too busy noting Stone's eccentricities to learn anything about directing.

Rated: 1/5

Hollywood Reporter

It's hard to tell whether film school grad Zendel thought she was crafting a new-millennium Sunset Boulevard, but what results is more like the cultish morass of Showgirls in its camp dramatization of a poisonous entertainment milieu.

Entertainment Today

The story proper is, unfortunately, all over the map, and further hampered by the constraints of its means. But in newcomer Amy Blomquist, director Zendel has plucked a winner.

Rated: C-

David Chute

L.A. Weekly

The only real-life situations the movie evokes vividly are the circumstances of its own production: underrehearsed actors in hastily staged scenes speaking page after page of awkward expository dialogue.

Maitland McDonagh

TV Guide

Though professionally produced on a micro-budget, Azita Zendel's ambitious writing-directing debut is undermined by an awkward script and some very amateurish acting.

Rated: 2/5
