| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert[Director Eric] Byler deals with characters who have lived their years, learned from them, and try to apply their values to their lives. Their romances are not heedless but wary, and involve a lot of negotiation. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyThis diverting, occasionally wry seriocomedy ultimately doesn't add up to a satisfying whole. |
| CinematicalKim VoynarByler doesn't rush his storytelling; this is a deliberately paced, thoughtful meditation on racial issues and relationships ... |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonI'm convinced that Byler is a talent to watch. |
| Hollywood ReporterSura WoodA collection of scenes in search of a coherent story, the film's characters don't develop, and plot lines fail to coalesce by the movie's conclusion. |
| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawIt's not the glacial pace that fatigues, but a lack of connection with the characters. |
| User ReviewMichael YSeen during SXSW a few years back and had a generally good Festival reception. Good acting on the part of the leads and generally good cinematography, but the plot is definitely slow. Not much happens, either. |
