There's a low-key New York drama lurking somewhere, but Barron can't seem to decide if he's making that or something more flashy.
Tom Huddlestone, Time Out
Overview
The social anxiety of a morbidly shy Ecuadorian dishwasher working in a Queens diner provides the psychological engine that powers this blend of drama and magical realism.

Barron's direction is low-key but efficient.

The movie suffocates under the weight of too many wrong choices.
