Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter 01/08/2020
It blends in with the use of handheld camera and extremely naturalistic dialog culled from hours of taping the non-pro cast. The labor pays off in a strong sense of realism. Go to Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 12/10/2009
3/4
Quinn photographed his film over four years, and yet, as his own editor, has mastered what must have been hours of material into a story so convincingly embedded in the band and parade that it would have been impossible to create it just for a film.

A low-key but satisfying blend of melodrama and observant naturalism. Go to Full Review Ray Pride Newcity 01/08/2020
The seemingly improvised performances have a sweet, ragged edge, and the music swells. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

05/14/2010 Low budget indie with unknown actors, turned out to be a great film. You feel the pain of the characters going though divorce as a family. See more 12/09/2009 Low-key yet honest and satisfying, melodramatic yet observant and natural. A truly independent indie film. See more 12/06/2008 I found this film slow and mediocre from start to finish. See more 11/23/2008 Its about a "broken" working class family in South Philly; you slowly get to know everyone and the reason behind the divorce; a son, a daughter, mom, and dad---about growing up too--everyone's a little messed up; feel authentic See more 09/24/2008 A movie about a family and their two kids who are dealing with a sepration. This wasn't the best movie by far, but there were some moments that wern't completely awful. For the most part though it wasn't an easy movie to get involved in since it was so dull.
