Brims with energy, carefully drawn characters and fine acting, and sad-eyed Deborah Ten Brink, as Manu's daughter, is a scene-stealer.
V.A. Musetto, New York Post
Fresh
Deftly intercutting between several tenuously-connected lives, Barbara Albert's astringent drama is transformed by bright flashes of compassion.
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
Fresh
An intelligent, viscerally intellectual exercise in ensemble acting and associative montage, enlivened with some terrific visual and dramatic ideas.
J. Hoberman, Village Voice
Rotten
At once too densely populated and too clinically detached.
Stephen Holden, New York Times
