Ronnie Scheib Variety DV-shot exercise in gay teen angst. Mar 27, 2008 Full Review Bill Weber Slant Magazine The restless, mini-DV-camera-shot visual style of Lior Shamriz's semi-improvised fiction matches the wanderlust of its twentysomething gay hero. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 26, 2008 Full Review Don Willmott Filmcritic.com Unusual? Yes. Satisfying? Well, you kinda have to be in the mood for that sort of thing.

Audience Member A funny film about not belonging. Highly recommended, but not for anyone. Do your research prior to watching. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member There are just too many freshman film experiments out there and you really do need something special under your belt to make another one work. And story DOES count when trying to tell a story, experimental or not. This film has none of the above. Consequently it's about as interesting as watching random traffic pass through an intersection. Hey, if that's your poison, certainly watch the film. For the rest, read the cover blurb and move on. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Bernie L I applaud the director's efforts to make this a very experimental movie, and some parts of the movie were plain brilliant. But overall, the movie was all over the place and I am not sure what I got out of it. Very very strange. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/24/08 Full Review Read all reviews
