| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanAn exquisitely observed slice-of-life with a genuinely transporting feel for its setting. Sumptuously dreamlike and compellingly elusive. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThis dark, well-acted suburban tale is follow-up to the gifted Mendleson's most promising feature debut |
| KPBS.orgBeth AccomandoAnd although Mendelsohn maintains a certain cool detachment, he also allows the film to occasionally soar in unexpected ways. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenMr. Mendelsohn's ability to evoke a child's-eye view of a suburban environment is the most seductive element in a movie whose primary attraction is an atmosphere so heady that you can almost taste it. |
| Metromix.comGeoff BerkshireTries to give suburban malaise a fresh spin with dreamlike visuals and overbearing music. |
| User ReviewMichael Nit's sort of judy berlin. perfected. and that's a very good thing. so beautiful. and the best performances of everyone's career. |
| User Reviewxniquet LGreat movie. I love Embeth Davidtz's preformance and the fact that her name is unknown makes her that more mysterious |
| User ReviewWalter MEstupenda pelicula. Actuaciones de primera. La pelicula cautiva al espectador. |
| User ReviewOfir SAn intimate look into the eyes of 4 different stories. All work so well and are mostly quite sad. The acting here is astounding though, and it's worth a look for that alone. Very real moments here. |
| User ReviewJeff TLovely, elliptical and filled with quiet dread, this lovely film is as clear an argument for the vivid independent film world as any I have seen this year. Though it doesn't yet have a distributor, it is as good as any small-scale film I've seen this year. Depicting one tiny day in three suburban Long Island households, director Eric Mendolsohn sees every nook and cranny in the lives he puts under the microscope here, and if what he finds isn't new news, it's still perfectly observed and put together. Great performances all around and gorgeous cinematography help contribute to make this a film the deserves a much bigger audience than a couple of Manhattan screenings in a film festival. Beautiful. |
