NEW YORK/LOS ANGELES/CHICAGO/TORONTO (6 Reviews)
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times: VERY GOOD "...an imaginative debut feature from the Seattle artist and filmmaker David Russo... An idiosyncratic pondering on the soul-sucking limbo of cubicle careers..."(See all of Jeannette Catsoulis's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 331 words, 05/12/10
Michael Ordoña, Los Angeles Times: GOOD (NOT GREAT) "...dips its toes into various spiritualities, conspiracy theories and modern art....

Susan G. Cole, Toronto Now: WEAK(cg) "...careens to the finish line and you haven't the slightest idea what really happened. That may work for David Lynch, but director David Russo's got a long way to go..."(See all of Susan G. Cole's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 194 words, 08/05/10

Michael Upchurch, Seattle Times: VERY GOOD(cg) "...a wildly imaginative if erratically executed urban fable.
