San Francisco ChronicleDavid LewisSep 26, 2013
On the surface, this may seem like a bleak film, because it's so raw. But ultimately this is a movie about the mysterious ways in which we find a path toward healing, and its beautiful final moments stay with you. Read full review

It often seems like an acting workshop: Behave as if you are the parent of a dead child. Read full review

Village VoiceNick SchagerOct 1, 2013
It's a mannered, over-the-top approximation of real anguish and hopelessness that's so phony that it's borderline insulting to those who've truly experienced such tragedy. Read full review
