Matthew Lickona, San Diego Reader
Overview
A multi-dimensional interface between a comic book artist, a novelist, and a film director. Each lives in a separate reality but authors a story about one of the others.

If the final work feels inevitably uneven, that's less a flaw than a feature - a testament to the visual and tonal distinctiveness of the movie's individual parts.
Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
The characters emerge through disorganized happenstance, but come across more as inventions than people.
