Highly introspective, often tenderly touching and sometimes tediously redundant.
A.H. Weiler, New York Times

The film is a triumph of style. It is quiet and indicative. It doesn't explain a lot, but we understand a lot about it all the same.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh
It's a penetrating study of a man at the end of his rope, and a searing re-creation of a social milieu.
Don Druker, Chicago Reader
