Critic Reviews

Eric Campos

In a perfect world, movies this clever would open in theaters every weekend. Maybe some day. Read full review

Albert Williams

The players deftly balance flip caricature with a surprisingly moving depiction of those trapped in the celluloid closet. Read full review

Robert K. Elder

A talented craftsman of dark raillery, Day and his fixation on Hollywood melodrama are indulged to delicious effect in his sophomore effort. Read full review

Frank Scheck

Wastes its promising premise with a wavering tone that veers uneasily between camp humor and, pardon the expression, straightness. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

Melodramatic. Read full review

Mick LaSalle
