Critic Reviews

Dark and light invariably go hand in hand in Burman's work, but this tender, goofily circular portrait of how we fill up the cavernous space once occupied by children begins and ends, beautifully, with an image of a man and a woman floating head to head on water--hapless, helpless, happy.Full Review

Village Voice

The script doesn't offer anything especially new, but Burman infuses the film with innovative lensing and capable acting.Full Review

V.A. Musetto
New York Post

In the end, it all can't help feeling a little slight, more a pleasant wade into a writer's neurotic playground than a satisfyingly deep dip.Full Review

Michael Wilmington
Los Angeles Times

The film dithers along with Leonardo, whose self-involved tedium -- and the movie's -- is occasionally interrupted by fantasy sequences.Full Review
