RTChicago Sun-TimesJan 1, 2000

I felt alive when I was watching it.

Hal Hinson

RTWashington PostJan 1, 2000

A disturbing, imaginative, beautifully realized film.

B

Brian Eggert

RTDeep Focus ReviewMay 2, 2022

Every degrading sight in Lauzon's film is balanced with the filmmaker's tenderness and honesty, resulting in a strangely affecting and personal work of grotesque art.

It tries too hard, and Leolo's Gauloisey voice-over tells us too much.
