The PlaylistNikola GrozdanovicMar 2, 2014
The admirable wit that's on display when it comes to subtle motifs and the poignant conclusion that resonates if you let it, regardless of how predictable or not it may seem, are all things that add up to a satisfactory feeling. Read full review

The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisFeb 27, 2014
Jay Alaimo’s sour tale of suburban greed and marital disappointment, can’t even deliver a temporary high; mired in the blahs, the blues and the midlife crazies, this poor man’s “American Beauty” slowly sucks your will to live. Read full review

Alaimo seems to have an unusually high tolerance for shopworn ideas, and Chlorine boasts no shortage of them. Read full review
