Joe Pollack St. Louis Post-Dispatch Brusati's writing and direction are smooth and stylish, and the film moves flawlessly, with never a jarring moment to disturb the sensitive story of four basically nice people at a changing point in their lives. Apr 7, 2022 Full Review Andrea Loewenstein Gay Community News (Boston) I enjoyed the movie quite a lot, really. It was just the aftertaste I didn’t like so well.
