It is intended for an audience that is willing to take a journey without knowing the destination.

Overview
A reluctant reunion of two estranged sisters. One is on the verge of marriage; the other is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Both struggle with truths they're hiding from each other - and from themselves. Jenny has rejected her tumultuous family and cut off communication, seeking a more ordered life far from her roots in the Bronx. And she's almost ready to commit to her longtime fiancé when her sister Lucy - the personification of all that Jenny has been trying to flee - surprises her at a critical time. Lucy and Jenny's combustible reunion brings both of them to unforeseen places, shattering and reconstructing the worlds they have both carefully constructed.

The kind of character-driven movie about whacked-out characters we need more of (the characters and the movies).
John Anderson, Newsday

Mira Sorvino is very good -- too good -- at playing a very annoying person in Nancy Savoca's Union Square.
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

Propelled by a rangy, superbly colorful performance by Mira Sorvino, the film grabs hold of the viewer from the jump and snowballs toward a deftly moving and concise third act.
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

It doesn't pretend to be anything more than it is - a slice-o'-life domestic drama/dark comedy of manners savvy about its limits and sufficiently disciplined to keep its convolutions to a credible, impactful minimum.
James Adams, Globe and Mail
