It lost me in an "all-in-one-day into night" fog of sequencing and generally unsavvy storytelling.

Reviews for Expiration
The film is unjaded enough that its very guilelessness is often at least vicariously moving
01/20/04
A solid first film that shows remarkable skill both in front of and behind the camera.
01/23/04
While I sometimes found myself scratching my head a little, Heffernan provides just enough information to keep the intrigue at a maximum.
11/05/03
This may be one of 'those movies' where everything happens in one single night, but it's far from formulaic.
01/02/04
Dumb movie with nice cinematography -- a pleasure to watch and a labor to endure.
04/13/04
Episodic film, interesting in fits and starts, but some individual pieces prove more satisfying than the film's whole
01/31/04
Though it was made on a shoestring, Expiration offers imaginative and soulful use of digital video.
01/05/04
An eventful ride with a memorable gallery of characters.
01/12/04
...exudes raw talent on both sides of the lens and serves as an unwitting document of the kind of purity of vision embodied by artists at the beginnings of their careers...

introduces an unpretentious filmmaker with a promising future
03/21/04
Does anyone have a spare career to give Gavin Heffernan?
03/11/04
artsy fartsy to the point where even the actors' eyes seem to roll
11/02/03
...a memorable and undeniably captivating visceral experience.
01/04/04
Definitely recommended for the art house crowds . . .
11/27/03
Almost unreasonably good.
01/04/04
Has the freshness of youthful exuberance on its side.
12/05/03
Promises much for its young creator's future, even as it delivers only minor pleasures of its own.
01/11/04
A student film of enormous ambition and modest attainment...precocious, perhaps, but also uncomfortably pretentious.
12/30/03
Gavin Heffernan's 'Expiration' boasts a unique cinematic style and introduces an impressive new filmmaker.
