I felt transported back to the 1960s films of Jean-Luc Godard. I was watching a film that was not afraid of its audience.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Wong brings tremendous vigor and audacity to the effort, asking us to question the most basic rules of storytelling and commercial filmmaking.
Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle

A densely packed suite of zany vignettes that have the autonomy of pop songs or stand-up comic riffs.
