David Sterritt

One of a kind, turning Foreman trademarks such as self-satirical acting and out-of-nowhere music into powerful elements of an outlandish story. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

Makes about as much sense as most dreams. But that's to be expected, because the video feature is a series of successive dreams. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Hopkins possesses a Candide-like equanimity in the face of bizarre happenstance that is thoroughly charming and keeps the story's excesses from becoming exasperating. Read full review

Frank Scheck

Unfortunately, the film lacks the hypnotizing strangeness of Foreman's best stage efforts and also pales in comparison to cinematic works like Matthew Barney's far more ambitious "Cremaster" series. Read full review

Ronnie Scheib

Mendel's visuals consistently fall short of the strange oneiric quality of Foreman's strategically normal-seeming dialogue, with its subtly irregular pauses and repetitions, its austere ellipses and enigmatic insistences. Read full review

Dave Kehr

Isn't very successful at evoking the dream state, but does a good job of inducing it. Read full review

Ed Park

The acting is deliberately bad, directed to an ostensibly dreamlike flatness; and it's also just plain bad. Read full review
