TV Guide Maitland McDonagh

Unfortunately, Flicker wasn't able to rise above the limitations of his microbudget, and his message is compromised by student-film production values and performances that range from adequate to pretty awful.

New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman

Though Flicker based the story on real events, the execution is so melodramatic that none of it feels remotely true.

Mr. Showbiz Michael Atkinson

The New York Times Lawrence Van Gelder

Suffers from clumsy exposition and uneven acting, except in the case of Eddie T. Robinson.

Village Voice Dennis Lim

So seamlessly and comprehensively dreadful that its very existence (let alone its appearance in theaters) beggars belief.
