| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)$9.99 doesn't make any big statements, but Keret and director Tatia Rosenthal are obviously interested in how each of our lives affects the people around us and in the crazy things people do in an effort to connect with each other. |
| Screen InternationalDan FainaruLike most episode pieces, Rosenthal and Keret seem to have chosen the easy way out by not taking the trouble to develop any of the ideas beyond the basic anecdote. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaUsing the medium of Wallace and Gromit and Gumby, Israeli filmmaker Tatia Rosenthal turns her clay figures into real people in $9.99, a wise, wistful study of hope and dread. |

| New York PostKyle SmithFans of deadpan comic fantasy writers like Douglas Adams and Kurt Vonnegut are likely to be intrigued by this lively little packet of weird -- then dive like a dolphin into Keret's loopy story volumes. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchCalvin Wilson$9.99 may not be entirely successful from a dramatic perspective, and it certainly offers little enlightenment about the meaning of life. But the film is so intriguing in other ways that it's definitely worth a look. |
