      Andrew Schenker Slant Magazine The societal observations in Djaidani's film aren't too much more complex than those of the parodied performance artists, though the movie does have its dashes of insight. Rated: 2/4 Mar 16, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member With a naturalistic approach that uses grainy visuals and an appropriate handheld camera, this urban drama is able to make a statement against intolerance and hypocrisy even though it resorts to some cheap narrative tricks and is not really sure how to end. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
