Stephen Holden, New York Times: GOOD "...unfolds as a series of deliberately disconnected parts... eerie, melancholy... intriguing, sometimes frustrating, in some ways amateurish... a work of vaulting artistic ambition."(See all of Stephen Holden's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 600 words, 02/25/11
Brian Miller, Village Voice: GOOD (NOT GREAT) "Frazer Bradshaw literalizes his hero's sense of creeping humiliation with a recurring fantasy motif. It's so bad that I won't describe it, because there's much else to recommend about this debut indie feature."(See all of Brian Miller's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 227 words, 02/23/11

Walter Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle: MODERATE(cg) "...drama about the existential woes of a blue-collar worker is told in a strikingly visual way.... a series of intriguing snapshots, but what they add up to isn't entirely clear. Whether that's a problem is up to the viewer."(See all of Walter Addiego's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 377 words, 12/04/09

Diego Costa, Slant: VERY GOOD(cg) "For all of its heavy-handed dialogue and some unnecessary subplots, it does something quite amazing in allowing the kind of bottled-up emotional dynamic that heterosexual masculinity requires to finally express itself in speech."(See all of Diego Costa's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 497 words, 02/23/11

MOVIE INDUSTRY (3 Reviews)
Peter Debruge, Daily Variety: EXCELLENT "A semi-experimental symphony to the 21st-century man... provides as close to a time-capsule record of this moment in time as film can provide today, hitting so close to home it could take years for auds to fully appreciate it."(See all of Peter Debruge's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 500 words, 01/29/09
James Greenberg, Hollywood Reporter: MODERATE "...may not be entirely successful, and it's definitely not for everyone, but there's nothing quite like it.... In director Frazer Bradshaw's cerebral approach, the film is more interesting than compelling, and it's certainly not exciting."(See all of James Greenberg's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 513 words, 01/27/11
