Another victory for a first-time, full-length feature filmmaker with a curious, inventive eye and an unsparing point of view.
Bob Baker, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Riedel reveals herself to be a novice filmmaker, especially in the pacing of most scenes.
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle

Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post

Leisurely paced but lovely and touching.
