Critic Reviews:
- " An even-heeled, though undeniably quirky coming of age road trip movie, angled on culture clash for a great deal of its charm. " – Nicholas Bell (IONCINEMA.com)
- " Essentially a coming-of-age road-trip story, it certainly has a great hook: virgin birth by rock ‘n’ roll is going to intrigue most viewers. " – Naila Scargill (Trebuchet)
- " Thomas has an aversion to the easy resolution-she knows precisely which mysteries to keep dangling. " – Ted Scheinman (Village Voice)
