Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Feb 6, 2014
Bouncing from one ridiculous scene to another - see Nnette stumble into a rave, flood a hotel room and repair Paul's relationship with his estranged son! - this sickly sweet concoction sets your teeth on edge. Go to Full Review
Mark Jenkins NPR Feb 6, 2014

In the end, you've got to have a heart harder than a tortoise shell not get a little misty. Go to Full Review
Prairie Miller WBAI Radio Feb 9, 2014
Part Chaplin, part Fellini's La Strada. And a lunatic but respectful adventure of a mentally challenged woman, navigating the far from normal world around her. In a film about failing to see or acknowledge the disabled, and how they enrich our world. Go to Full Review
Doris Toumarkine Film Journal International Feb 5, 2014
