3/5
"This is not a bad film by any stretch of the imagination. But there's really not enough here to remain memorable."
PopMatters
Bill Gibron
4/5
"Two African-Americans together in San Francisco for a weekend trying to take a one-night stand to a more intimate level."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
3/5
"Too often [its] dialogue smacks of college-freshman outrage...and stale insight, though its identity-crisis concerns and sense of injustice are well-intentioned."
The L Magazine
Henry Stewart
"Concluding on a fittingly less-than-happy note, the promising but uneven film knows what it wants to say, if not, ultimately, exactly how to say it."
The Screengrab
Nick Schager
"The film is more ambient than my description will convey, and it doesn’t feel scripted or directed in as much as it feels naturally funny and relaxed."
