Reviews

Common Sense Media

Corrina Antrobus

Instead, in its radical attempts to show a war of liberal left vs. radical right, it fails to present true nuance in either camp. In presenting them in such black and white terms, neither come across as reasonable.

Arsenic and old cliches...

...this likably cartoonish view of the schisms of society has more than a little truth behind it....

This impressive debut feature by Stacy Title has its wobbly technical moments and one or two underdeveloped narrative strands, but it's brimful of provocative ideas and moral dilemmas as well as being extremely funny.

Cynthia Roberts's film is poignant and courageous, but its curious status -- a film of a play that seems to want to be a documentary -- muffles its impact.
