New York Daily NewsJack Mathews
The upside and downside of surveillance cameras are explored in ways both funny and sad in writer-director Adam Rifkin's imaginative, ultimately disturbing ode to high-tech voyeurism. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonagh
Surprisingly compelling, if not up to dealing with the larger political issues it raises. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMaureen M. Hart
The performances feel natural, improvised, and it’s easy to believe this is the world we inhabit. But if Rifkin’s message is pro-privacy, his script, laced throughout with menace, argues against it. Read full review

New York PostV.A. Musetto
There are some funny moments, plus occasional nudity and sex, but the joke quickly wears off. What might have worked as a half-hour TV show doesn't suit itself to a feature-length film. Read full review
