“..smothers in its own pretensions..”
by Stephen Holden [NY Times]
0.5 of 4

“..Lee's debut is an abyss of crying, screaming hysterics, made no more bearable by the fact that--for all the wrong reasons--it's also hysterical..”
by Nick Schager [Slant Magazine]
“..just a particular kind of narrative storytelling (typically in service of, or enslaved to, a massive ensemble cast) where the pretentious reach more often than not exceeds the philosophical grasp..”
by Keith Uhlich [The House Next Door]
1.5 of 4

“..Four interconnected stories about states of mind add up to nothing much in a drama that features lots of name actors and frenetic camerawork..”
by Kyle Smith [New York Post]
“..A stew of cheap irony, ponderous but meaningless allegory, violence and pretension..”
by Carina Chocano [LA Times]
