Critic Reviews:

• " A jocular yet melancholy Rubén Blades tags along as Irons' sounding board, and Maggie Cheung delights and intrigues as a street performer. " – Tom Meek

• " I have always been drawn toward stories of exile and expatriation, of people living as strangers in strange lands. I enjoy their bittersweet longing for other places and other friends. " – Roger Ebert
