Jamie S. Rich Oregonian Director/star Mani Haghighi keeps us on our toes, confronting our own perceptions of materialism, hardship and our sense of what is fundamentally correct. Rated: 4/5 Aug 28, 2013 Full Review Robin Clifford Reeling Reviews ...the filmmaker keeps you wondering to the end as to just what they are up to. Somehow, the ambiguity is satisfying. Rated: B Jan 17, 2013 Full Review Laura Clifford Reeling Reviews Haghighi is a sophisticated new voice, one who can keep us riveted to his screen as he balances comedy and tragedy while wrapping an enigma in a mystery. Rated: B+ Jan 12, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Interesting. Amusing for a while. Rather perplexing. Some engrossing segments. Ultimately not very satisfying. A director to keep an eye on, though.
