Butterworth 2.5/4 "...there's little doubt that the film is occasionally just a little too uneventful for its own good."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair A- "Engaging arthouse coming-of-age drama."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2/4 "The central relationship is tenderly conveyed but the plot soon takes a predictable antagonistic path."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez B "It is, in short, a very good coming-of-age story of love and obsession, but not a remarkable one."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D.
