Andrew Schenker, Village Voice: VERY GOOD "The product of a genuinely unique sensibility... inventive without being twee, quirky without being overly Wes Anderson, and suffused with a late-adolescent sense of longing as palpably felt as it is understated."(See all of Andrew Schenker's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 216 words, 08/25/10

Leonard Pierce, AV Club: VERY GOOD(cg) "...absolutely worth seeing, because it's daring and it fails in big ways instead of small ones, and that's commendable.

Chuck Bowen, Slant: POOR(cg) "...a horror movie given the generic low-budget art-movie treatment. The dialogue is purposefully dull and pointless -- with obnoxious tics and repetitions -- in the hopes of being eerie and poetic."(See all of Chuck Bowen's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 397 words, 08/23/10

Ronnie Scheib, Daily Variety: MODERATE "...invests in spacey horror tropes one moment, plunges into absurdist adolescent angst the next and begs questions every step of the way... holds together with its strong compositional sense, killer atmospheric lighting and wall-to-wall music track."(See all of Ronnie Scheib's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 644 words, 08/23/10
