"This is a story of few words, a lot of great music and countless emotional shadings." - Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times
"Shot in black and white on 16mm in a spontaneous, stripped down style, it manages to be both low key, downtown cool and exuberant at the same time." - Sura Wood, Hollywood Reporter
