Reviews for Expiration
Episodic film, interesting in fits and starts, but some individual pieces prove more satisfying than the film's whole

Heffernan and company have crafted a film both entertaining on its surface - and possessed of a heart and soul underneath.

Though it was made on a shoestring, Expiration offers imaginative and soulful use of digital video.
01/05/04
The film is unjaded enough that its very guilelessness is often at least vicariously moving

An eventful ride with a memorable gallery of characters.

A student film of enormous ambition and modest attainment...precocious, perhaps, but also uncomfortably pretentious.
