- 70VarietyRonnie ScheibVarietyRonnie ScheibThough picture is downbeat and defiantly low-budget, its laid-back absurdist tone and no-nonsense pacing make for an audio-visual delight.
- 60Village VoiceVillage VoiceDespite this tri-part farcical thriller's plot construction, some hackneyed dialogue and actorial mugging--the finest exception being Aya Cash's airily acerbic Slavic hooker--you can't help but eagerly anticipate the finale, when Montias brings his intersecting storylines together. Apparently, amusingly improbable coincidences can satisfy.
- 50The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe New York TimesStephen HoldenThe lives of Olivia, Tomo, Milot and Joey converge in a climactic chase sequence as frantic as a Keystone Cops movie. By this time, grim realism has curdled into bleakly absurdist farce.
- 40The Hollywood ReporterThe Hollywood ReporterThere are several impressive scenes, but taken as a whole, the film is weighed down by significant creative and technical missteps.
- 40New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierNew York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierWhile Montias' actors do their best, even good intentions have limits. Still, it never feels false. And remember, even Martin Scorsese (born in Queens) had to start somewhere.
- 38New York PostV.A. MusettoNew York PostV.A. MusettoClichéd stories, clichéd characters. All that's missing is Ed Burns.
