"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."

"Dunne weighs down a light social satire with a ponderous anthropological analogy."

Carlo Cavagna
2/5
"throwing the film heedlessly into what was essentially a light social satire seems to border on the irresponsible"

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."

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."

Nick Schager
1.5/4
