... a realistic portrait of rural life.

Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Fresh

Pokey and maybe a bit too sincere, but it has its own integrity.

Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel

It is a nice character study of two people locked into themselves in different ways, and the slow path they each take to recognize their interdependence.

Richard Nilsen, Arizona Republic
Rotten

Michael Booth, Denver Post

Slow-moving but utterly delightful.
