This is a dark, gritty, sometimes funny little gem.
12/08/02
Nothing about the stories in and of themselves is particularly original, but Rifkin knows how to create atmosphere.
05/17/02
One just waits grimly for the next shock without developing much attachment to the characters.
05/02/02
These are textbook lives of quiet desperation.

Never decides whether it wants to be a black comedy, drama, melodrama or some combination of the three.
04/26/02
The director seems to take an unseemly pleasure in [the characters'] misery and at the same time to congratulate himself for having the guts to confront it.

Top CriticAnother in-your-face wallow in the lower depths made by people who have never sung those blues.
04/26/02
Too bad writer-director Adam Rifkin situates it all in a plot as musty as one of the Golden Eagle's carpets.
04/26/02
Rifkin no doubt fancies himself something of a Hubert Selby Jr., but there isn't an ounce of honest poetry in his entire script; it's simply crude and unrelentingly exploitative.
04/25/02
A modest pleasure that accomplishes its goals with ease and confidence.
04/25/02
Top CriticWhat little grace [Rifkin's] tale of precarious skid-row dignity achieves is pushed into the margins by predictable plotting and tiresome histrionics.
04/23/02
The project is a labor of love, powerfully effective in shining a light on a part of the world from which most would rather avert their eyes.
04/14/02
Rifkin's references are ... impeccable throughout.
