Jordan Mintzer

Hollywood Reporter

This low-key effort is somewhat tonally inconsistent, yet its strong performances and naturalistic setting make for an intriguing New Wave-ish dramedy that deserves a look.

Dan Fainaru

Screen International

Neither the characters nor the plot are sufficiently substantial to carry the film and the actors seem uncertain about their roles and what is expected of them.

It leaves an impression of the sweet and menacing in equal measure. (And you might think of Taxi Driver.)

Rated: 3/4
