Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Writer-director Salvatore Stabile keeps his affecting story hurtling forward with such grit and integrity it's easy to forgive its loaded setup and occasional lapses in detail and logic.
– Gary Goldstein,
Los Angeles Times,
19 Dec 2008
fresh:
The acting, the on-the-fly atmosphere (the film was shot quickly), and Leguizamo's increasingly urgent hustle are deeply evocative, but parts of the movie are almost too painful to endure.
– David Edelstein,

15 Dec 2008
rotten:
This film needs more than God's Nikes to resonate with an already economically downtrodden filmgoing populace.
– Drew Toal,

fresh:
Stabile, a Brooklyn native with a resume in TV production, knows how to line up a permit and scout out perfect South Brooklyn Italian manors and melancholic intersections. He gets interesting scenes, too.
– Nick Pinkerton,
Village Voice,
10 Dec 2008
fresh:
Writer-director Salvatore Stabile has a good eye for the details of hard-luck ordinariness, and he sketches believable family bonds with a minimum of flourish.
