New York Post V.A. Musetto
Perfectly captures the cultural and emotional wasteland that is suburban Jersey.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Ty Burr
Maquiling has built and sustained a mood of lovely comic aplomb. Like one of its hero's daydreams, the film evaporates on contact and leaves a serene glow.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Stephen Hunter
It's nothing less than a spiritual journey set in New Jersey.
Read Full Review >Film.com Tom Keogh
An unusually clear, compassionate, and grownup satire about a rare subject: the true psychological underpinnings of young manhood.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Desson Thomson
The movie's a gas. Very funny, to a rather dark degree.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Wesley Morris
The movie is as modestly unpretentious as David O. Russell's "Spanking the Monkey."
Read Full Review >Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
Rich and droll, and yet slight--a film of modest virtues, content to be small, achieving what it intends.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Paul Malcolm
Maquiling offers us the unexpected pleasures of taking the side streets in a film about how even minor-key adventures can make a life stuck in low gear something to look back on.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
Unfolds as a shaggy-dog story, full of hilarious and outrageous twists that suggest that weirdness lies just below the surface of daily life seemingly at its most ordinary.
Read Full Review >Dallas Observer Bill Gallo
Jack's odyssey, despite some clunky writing and predictable first-movie missteps, gives off a flavor and a flair that stick with you.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Dave Kehr
Maquiling creates an unusual and intriguing tone somewhere between sharp, deadpan comedy and a soft, dreamy surrealism.
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington
No revelation, but it’s a more honorable, interesting effort than many of the crass, dopey recent big-studio schlockfests like "Say It Isn’t So" or "Tomcats" that tell similar coming-of-age tales.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Jay Carr
There are moments when faltering levels of energy and inventiveness threaten to turn Too Much Sleep into a nonevent. But it signals the arrival of a promising filmmaker and is worth sticking with.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
The film's slightly awkward self-consciousness is balanced by an appealing, gently deadpan performance from Palmieri.
Read Full Review >Mr. Showbiz Larry Terenzi
For a modest film, however, Too Much Sleep is a modest surprise.
Read Full Review >Wall Street Journal Joe Morgenstern
Mr. Maquiling's gotta learn more about dramatic arcs, but he has an infectious interest in how the world looks and works, and he can make you laugh unexpectedly. I look forward to his next film.
Read Full Review >Baltimore Sun Michael Sragow
So minimalist that you wouldn't miss much if you watched semi-awake and listened to a friend's running commentary.
Read Full Review >Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt
The movie's concept is amusing, but much of the acting and dialogue is as uninspired as the story's deliberately bland suburban setting.
Read Full Review >Variety Emanuel Levy
The material is slender, the characters not sufficiently engaging or eccentric for a feature-length movie.
