What are critics saying?

Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt

The evocative visual style -- is the main reason to watch this whimsical comedy-drama.

Village Voice by J. Hoberman

The movie exudes a cheerful energy--laying out a deck of narrative cards, then reshuffling them in the final 10 minutes.

Chicago Tribune by John Petrakis

This is a big-hearted film with admirable ambitions, and the ending is appropriately bittersweet, with victory and comeuppance occupying the same time and frame.

New York Post by V.A. Musetto

Plot and dialogue take a back seat to a series of inventive sight gags that unspool with effortless charm. An ensemble cast of talented amateurs is in top form.
