If you liked "Magnolia," you'll also like Mind the Gap. Read full review

VarietyJoe Leydon
Warm-hearted but clear-eyed indie effort richly repays audience patience during deliberately paced and provocatively allusive early scenes with a cumulative emotional impact that is immensely satisfying. Read full review
