"looks and feels like no other indie feature I've seen... I find fascinating that the film's free form media mixing and hallucinatory editing style..."
Matt Zoller Seitz- Vulture, RogerEbert.com
"perfectly captures the dementia in the context of a hallucinatory DePalma like thriller... just allowed myself to get lost in the abstract combination of sound and visuals"
Allan Richards- b-Independent.com
"Joseph F. Alexandre directs with panache. Though predictable, the solid story and the two decent lead performances mean that there’s more good than bad here... considerably more stylish than a good number of other shot-on-video titles.""

"Alexandre has a wacky twist and imagery that puts a spin on his effort... interesting, and added just the right amount of deranged highlights."
