"Excellent" Reviews
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) (Ken Hanke)
If you undertake this movie, don't judge it as it goes along. That won't work. It's a film that demands to be seen its entirety before its impact can be felt. Sad, shattering, and unpleasant, it's too vital a work to be ignored.

Eclipse Magazine (Sean O'Connell)
So detestable you must watch it just to see how one filmmaker can fail on every level.
