Critic Reviews

88 New York Post V.A. Musetto
Plot and dialogue take a back seat to a series of inventive sight gags that unspool with effortless charm. An ensemble cast of talented amateurs is in top form.
75 Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt
The evocative visual style -- is the main reason to watch this whimsical comedy-drama.
70 Village Voice J. Hoberman
The movie exudes a cheerful energy--laying out a deck of narrative cards, then reshuffling them in the final 10 minutes.
50 Chicago Tribune John Petrakis
This is a big-hearted film with admirable ambitions, and the ending is appropriately bittersweet, with victory and comeuppance occupying the same time and frame.
