Inkoo Kang Village Voice Penelope's depression eventually turns into a mild breakdown or an explosion of imagination -- it's smartly unclear which. Jan 31, 2014 Full Review Miriam Bale New York Times The movie is a watchable collection of images that never comes together. Jan 22, 2014 Full Review Andrew Schenker Slant Magazine There's but one sequence in the entire movie that offers even the slightest bit of filmmaking verve, and even this speaks to the project's essential myopia. Rated: .5/4 Jan 19, 2014 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com An enjoyable debut from a director that seems to have a lot of tricks up her sleeve. Aug 29, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Here is a movie that tries so desperately to be quirky you can't help but feel sorry for it. And just when you think there might be some explanation behind the shameless gags the movie ends. What it wants to be is a funny indie movie. But before Towheads even thinks of launching it fails.
