Sometimes, apparently, the old saw about the heart wanting what it wants can apply to seniors precisely the same way it does to the young and foolish.
Tom Russo, Boston Globe

The result is a film in which age matters not at all and yet still matters hugely, and in which love is still a dream come true and an absolute mess.
Tom Long, Detroit News

Manages to be vital, wrenching and even humorous yet does not deny the omnipresence of mortality.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

Mr. Dresen and his actors create an atmosphere of reckless vulnerability that's immediately compelling and artistically intriguing. We want to explore this relationship further.
