In his film's better moments, Kollek makes us laugh at these visions while also revealing their grace and frailty.

As usual, Thomson steers right into the heart of vulnerability, with a painfully true performance as a guarded, confused soul.
By Elizabeth Weitzman FULL REVIEW

Despite a script that occasionally calls for some embarrassingly awkward lines, Kollek's cast generally acquits itself well.
By Jonathan Foreman FULL REVIEW

Kollek's fondness for whimsical plot turns adds still more random elements to a movie that at times seems edited by a blindfolded monkey.
By Mark Caro FULL REVIEW

Yet another of Israeli-born filmmaker Amos Kolleck's pointless, meandering tales of eccentric New Yorkers navigating the treacherous waters of love and survival.
By Maitland McDonagh FULL REVIEW

Kollek is a fringe auteur who makes independent films the old fashioned way: no budget, static camera, a script that telegraphs its tiny, paste gem ironies.
By Owen Gleiberman FULL REVIEW

Almost creates a sense of dread as you sit watching its raft of aimless, self-absorbed neurotics clang into one another.
