The New York Times Stephen Holden
It captures a gritty urban reality without moralizing or sentimentalizing its hapless young protagonist.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Ken Fox
If it's not an entirely wholesome portrait of the immigrant experience, it's certainly an entertaining one.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Chuck Wilson
An impressive work that's ultimately undone by its excessive style.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Jack Mathews
Underdeveloped and badly diluted by overlong -- and overly stylized -- forays into the drug use, street hustling and cultural alienation that mostly affects the boys' friends.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Edward Guthmann
Gratuitous, yes, but Giannaris has the visual finesse to make it work.
Read Full Review >Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker
All the jazzy effects and jumpy editing merely move us quicker to an otherwise predetermined tragedy.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Dennis Lim
The viewer, though unavoidably alert, is before long too numb to care.
Read Full Review >New York Post Hannah Brown
Feels like a Greek version of "My Own Private Idaho."
