Best two reviews:
1) Chicago Sun-Times - The very best thing about the movie is its dialogue. Paul Brickman, who wrote and directed, has an ear so good that he knows what to leave out. (Rating: 100) Read Full Review >

Brickman found a tone I hadn't encountered previously - one of haunting, lyrical satire. (Rating: 90) Read Full Review >
