"With a screechingly affected voice (think Nicholson mixed with a sick Chihuahua), Yelchin is all tiring, syllable-pulling raw nerve here; a blinding pitch that holds the film back from needed dramatic expression."  DVDTalk.com  Brian Orndorf

D
"Dunne weighs down a light social satire with a ponderous anthropological analogy."  AboutFilm.com  Carlo Cavagna

2/5
"throwing the film heedlessly into what was essentially a light social satire seems to border on the irresponsible"  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

1.5/4
"...the movie's abrupt (and downright graceless) transformation from jaunty comedy to heavy-handed drama strips the proceedings of any momentum it may have had..."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

A-
"Too bad this wasn't made twenty-five years ago, when it still had a chance of being accepted by the masses because it was quirky."  FilmJerk.com  Edward Havens

3/4
"Overall, it's an enjoyable effort, but not a positive triumph."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

1.5/4
"Structured around the type of analogy that makes one pine for total sensory failure, a desire amplified by the filmmakers' clear self-satisfaction with what they believe to be a clever narrative conceit."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

1.5/4
"The analogies drawn between the Ishkanani and the Osborne social circle come off as insufferably precious, rather than thoughtful."  Reel.com  Timothy Knight
