Fresh
he film has a loose, easy rhythm befitting its sun-splashed look.
Mark Feeney, Boston Globe
Rotten
All too often, though, characters bandy about platitudes like they're tennis balls...or shout for no reason.
Abigail Deutsch, Village Voice
Rotten
A sumptuously illustrated but shallow fable of the grass-is-greener conflict between freedom and commitment.
Stephen Holden, New York Times
Rotten
Too much emphasis is placed on wall text that swirls around like the worst Magnetic Poetry.
Melissa Anderson, Time Out New York
