The movie becomes a defiant reversal of that sentiment, an act of creation in the face of death.
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
Fresh
A type of cinematic performance art, with all the self-consciousness that suggests - a sibling love story that's no less heartfelt for being in the form of a first-person poem.

Steve Dollar, Wall Street Journal
