It’s an easy, sometimes amusing watch, but also an unfulfilling one, as if Crotty needed another hour to make his characters memorable rather than relying on sheer star power.

Four seasons to tell the fluctuating moods and mores of a small community that shares its daily chores and life experiences in the military base of Fort Buchanan. In this imagined (perhaps dreamed?) location, peculiar habits respond to the needs of a peculiar environment. Roger, a fragile gay man, and his female companions, trying to cope with the absence of their husbands, go through their own brand of challenges for survival, with their own form of outdoor camaraderie, thought-occupying chat and DIY activities.

Village Voice by Alan Scherstuhl
It's squirrelly, surprising, and elusive, but this beaut of a debut is no curio.
The New York Times by Ben Kenigsberg
If, at barely more than an hour, the movie initially seems slight, its inconsequentiality might be better viewed as polemical.
Slant Magazine by Jesse Cataldo
Benjamin Crotty's film is content to drift free-associatively through the intricacies of group mechanics via an expressive free-form structure.
The Hollywood Reporter by John DeFore
It may never be quite solid enough for us to be truly worried about its inhabitants' happiness, but watching them pursue that happiness is a uniquely diverting experience.
