    Excellent acting, great music, amazing artwork and gorgeous Christopher Doyle type cinematography make this film an absolute treat to sit through. It's like a big piece of candy.
  2. 60
    In the end it's all seductive surface and no substance, but Lough has a bold eye and a vivid sense of uniquely urban beauty.
  3. Should attract some interest in urban theatrical situations before settling into cult video status.
  4. 38
    A mild, slow-moving drama that belatedly tries to argue that graffiti writers are political artists, not an urban blight.

    Beautiful cinematography is the highlight of this film which is a strong first effort by Ivan Bhala Lough. Look for good things to come from him in the future. Collapse
