Peter Hartlaub San Francisco Chronicle 06/21/2012
2/4

Robert Abele Los Angeles Times 06/08/2012
2/5

4/10
Not so much black and white, as an intriguing black and gray and straw yellow and ivory, filmmaker Rao proves himself to be far more adept at shooting this film than writing it. Go to Full Review
