Reviews
Dennis Harvey wrote in Variety magazine on January 26, 2007 that the film was a "fine piece" with good representations and an interesting situation. However, the drama wouldn't leave a lasting impression.
Kirk Honeycutt wrote in The Hollywood Reporter on January 29, 2007 that the film was like a good short story - it wasted no time, which allowed it to have maximum impact. The film shows the loneliness of Simon Colon, Rose Phipps and Tommaso Pensara. It has good chances at smaller film festivals, but despite the presence of Heather Graham, it is only suitable for cinema use to a limited extent.
