Critic Reviews:

• " It's an imperfectly glorious film that is flawlessly written, impeccably acted, and impossible to forget. " – Richard Propes

• " A masterful film, one that succeeds in conveying the nature of a cold, uncaring cosmos with remorseless tenacity. " – Sonny Bunch

• " The movie is full of odd one-on-one conversations that may exasperate those who want the film to get to the point, but the dialogue is the point. " – Rob Gonsalves
