80What counts here is the acute psychological validity with which Gordon evokes a coming of age that's seen with a darkly outrageous sense of humor--and no small amount of compassionate detachment.

80The elegant gambol through ideas, combined with Gordon's clear love of luminous motion -- literally -- is a welcome treat.
-
75Fine acting and creative directing lend three-dimensional life to this absorbing story, which blends dreamlike elements with sharply etched drama and touches of pure cinematic ingenuity.

60If Lloyd's performance is the film's near-fatal flaw, Unger's is its saving grace.
