A series of stories connect over a 36 hour period.

Simon Abrams

Slant Magazine

The authenticity of Imperioli's understanding of spiritual revolution makes the screenplay, which unevenly vacillates between displays of schmaltzy sentiment and inept skid row melodrama, almost bearable.

Rated: 1/4

Mike Hale

New York Times

An ensemble drama that applies the Crash formula to New York and steeps it in Eastern religion, therapeutics and addiction while exhibiting a giggly suburban take on Manhattan kink.

Rated: 2.5/5

The Hollywood Reporter

An earnest effort that too often betrays its good intentions with an overly heavy hand.

This movie is a strong contender for the title of worst movie ever made.I guess this is what happens when a C list actor that became shortly famous from a TV show has the illusion that he is a film director.
