"A remarkable film. The score by Patrick Gleeson is every bit as effective as his pieces for earlier Bruce Conner films and transforms the experience of seeing these familiar - but also transfixing - images. The humor that leavens the genuine sadness of the material is given gentle boosts here and there acoustically." - Bruce Jenkins, Director, Film/Video, Walker Art Center
