The coincidences are almost all supremely transparent and the characters gratingly quirky, two faults that committed acting almost redeems. But not quite.

The performances are solid, even when the roles are aggressively whimsical.

You can see what's coming five minutes into the movie, but capable acting lends it a certain superficial charm.

Warm-hearted but clear-eyed indie effort richly repays audience patience during deliberately paced and provocatively allusive early scenes with a cumulative emotional impact that is immensely satisfying.

An overly ambitious, overly complex and overly long opus that bites off more than it can chew.
