So taken with its own love of cinema, it forgets to lead you down the necessary dramaturgical path to make you fall in love, too.
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Fresh
A movie that longs for a return to a cinema that, rather than marketing, merchandise and corporate synergy, is about the mysteries that flicker to life after the lights go down.
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

It has a droll sensibility but is marred by dirge-like pacing.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
This impassioned yet somewhat too precious fable from writer-director Davide Ferrario feels calculated to make a cineaste swoon, and yet . . . it never quite does.
Chuck Wilson, L.A. Weekly
