One of a kind, turning Foreman trademarks such as self-satirical acting and out-of-nowhere music into powerful elements of an outlandish story.
By David Sterritt FULL REVIEW

Makes about as much sense as most dreams. But that's to be expected, because the video feature is a series of successive dreams.
By V.A. Musetto FULL REVIEW

Hopkins possesses a Candide-like equanimity in the face of bizarre happenstance that is thoroughly charming and keeps the story's excesses from becoming exasperating.
By Maitland McDonagh FULL REVIEW
40
Unfortunately, the film lacks the hypnotizing strangeness of Foreman's best stage efforts and also pales in comparison to cinematic works like Matthew Barney's far more ambitious "Cremaster" series.
By Frank Scheck FULL REVIEW
40
Mendel's visuals consistently fall short of the strange oneiric quality of Foreman's strategically normal-seeming dialogue, with its subtly irregular pauses and repetitions, its austere ellipses and enigmatic insistences.

Isn't very successful at evoking the dream state, but does a good job of inducing it.
By Dave Kehr FULL REVIEW

The acting is deliberately bad, directed to an ostensibly dreamlike flatness; and it's also just plain bad.
