Slant Magazine

Stephen Winter's film doesn't earn the gall it evinces by pissing on Shirley Clarke's masterpiece.

Rated: .5/4

The film is more whimsical than hard hitting, and in some ways the jocular tone betrays the seriousness of its subject, but it is in the end still a fascinating piece of cinema.
