Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertMay 11, 2011
Here is an unsuccessful movie with some surprisingly successful scenes. It has moments when it is electrifying and passages where it slows to a walk. Read full review

The New York TimesStephen HoldenJan 13, 2011
Above all, it loves its characters and the actors who play them. A fearless, talented filmmaking auteur working on a limited budget, Mr. Lipsky insists on doing it his way and letting the chips fall where they may. More power to him. Read full review

A wildly misanthropic and overlong black comedy. Read full review
