Los Angeles Times
Mark Olsen
In its portrait of a "Restless City" the film is strangely inert and feels like the work of image-makers, not storytellers.
Village Voice
Ernest Hardy
Told in an elliptical style with a pacing and jagged rhythms that take some getting used to, the thrust and power of the film lies in its poetic imagery...
