• “The contrast between the early and latter halves of the film--whips vs cuts, Sundancespeak vs silence, handheld vs mounted--is unbelievable, especially with regard to how slowly and gradually it evolves over time, much like Greg's transition from "appeal to all" to a very singular artistic personality.”

And, my God, that long take in the bedroom. Fantastic. The whole latter end of this film is a true cry for the power of silence, which I think has been lacking in American cinema (indie and mainstream) as of late.”
