Joe Neumaier New York Daily News Apr 27, 2020
2/4
The kids' story gets out of control, but Andie MacDowell is a pleasantly earthy mess as Victor's out-of-it mother, and familiar New York faces (Ann Magnuson, Mark Boone Jr., Richard Edson) lend quirky support as the out-of-it elders. Go to Full Review

2.5/5

Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times May 13, 2010
1/5

David Noh Film Journal International May 10, 2010
"Callow" would be too kind a description of this messy, unoriginal and dull treatise of a filmmaker's youthful years in a commune. Go to Full Review
