Guardian
April 03, 2014 The film is heavy-going, unformed and self-indulgent, with characters who are neither sympathetic nor (crucially) interesting.

November 13, 2013 Alan Polsky and Gabriel Polsky propel the material in a way that can feel over-determined. But they grasp the eccentricities and desperation of fringe dwellers, and at its strongest their atmospheric film has the pull of a sad outlaw song.

Chicago Reader

April 04, 2014 The whole thing is deep-down conservative and wetter than a Labrador's kiss.

May 30, 2014 A pedestrian, undeveloped indie clunker, its failure as a complete, satisfying story especially disappointing since the sibling relationship at its center could have been special with a better script.
