TV Guide Maitland McDonagh

An amazing artifact; the decor and lighting mix '70s tackiness with odd '50s touches, the sound design is elaborate.

Village Voice J. Hoberman

That this mime show works better than it should is, in a sense, the ultimate dis.

The New York Times Anita Gates

It's sad and misguided and boring.

New York Post Rod Dreher

Presumably Zane & Co. had a lot more fun filming this inexplicable low-budget indulgence than any sane person will have watching it.

Mr. Showbiz Michael Atkinson

Sitting through the film is like Chinese water torture, for sure, and for reasons beyond the forced, idiotic campiness of the thing. For one thing, there is not one word of dialogue.

Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman

Just... bad. As in BAD bad.
