"Just a Sigh" lives up to its name. It disappears without a trace.
Stephanie Merry, Washington Post
Fresh
"Just a Sigh" charms, with its scenes of street musicians, philosophical debates and headstrong romance, as much as it poses dilemmas of fate and desire.
Marci Schmitt, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Fresh
A bracingly romantic drama that's alive with a mature sense of passion and mystery.
Sheri Linden, Los Angeles Times

You may complain that "Just a Sigh" is too episodic to cohere and that Alix's eccentricities are plot mechanisms. But to me, this fateful day-in-the-life feels believable.
