RTChicago TribuneJul 6, 2006

An affecting, very intelligent work, done with an eye for realism and a heart for the lonely, insulted and injured.

RTTime OutJun 24, 2006

Eva Lbau's lynchpin performance as Melanie is a shattering lesson in the tropes of timidity and awkwardness, and serves in taking this cinema of cruelty into as yet uncharted territory.

For a first film, it's accomplished; for a college project, it's astonishing.

RTA Good Movie To WatchNov 24, 2023

Even with her debut, Ade showcased a talent for spotting the hidden comic potential of situations that can be wounding, turning vulnerabilities into power through comedy.
