Salon by Andrew O'Hehir

A masterful accomplishment...teems with its own sense of life, crackles with daring, walks the tightrope between satire and pathos with a rare assuredness.

Chicago Reader by Lisa Alspector

Insights about romance are enhanced by the novel production design, which includes puppetry, but the story's reflexivity is smug and cloying.
