Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: A sophisticated, elegant-looking film shot in distinctive, wide-ranging L.A. locales, but its real terrain is the human heart, explored with compassion and respect.
Fresh: The stories are sketches, often without resolution, and while individual segments succeed admirably, taken together the portraits are a fitful match.
Fresh: A disturbingly frank look at people and relationships in contemporary Los Angeles and a thrilling dramatic showcase for a brilliant cast.
Rotten: What's the point? If I wanted to spend 12 minutes watching someone pushing a cart around a grocery store, I'd go to the local A&P, not sit in a movie theater.
Customer Reviews
Great Acting in Nine Captivating Stories
This movie includes nine loosely connected stories, each shot using a single camera in one long (nine minute) take that leaves you wanting more. All of the actors are at the top of their game. I loved the movie, and look forward to more from Rodrigo Garcia. (Soon please!)
