Critics Consensus

A movie about uninteresting people doing uninteresting things.

This bleak little drama started as a play, and I'd bet that even onstage it felt contrived.

Destined for well-deserved obscurity.

Edward Guthmann

San Francisco Chronicle

First-time director Catherine Jelski dredges up every cliche about druggy, obnoxious dreamers on the fringes of Hollywood and assumes that said cliches have the power to shock and surprise.

Rated: 1/4
