“[A] highly entertaining, often very funny movie that treats the many genres it combines with a respect all too rare among arty filmmakers”

- Jonathan Foreman

“[T]he movie turns into an exercise in ideas rather than an excursion along a stable narrative route. . . . Had the plot been better anchored, this would have been a strong, well-rounded film”

- James Berardinelli
