"An experience in which our instinct to find the "story" is constantly challenged and the result is never frustrating thanks to its freshness." Vladan Petkovic, Cineuropa
"An engaging and illuminating hybrid documentary ... attractively and compassionately shot on 16mm film by Aftersun cinematographer Gregory Oke; the varied stories weave cleverly in and out of each other." Mark Adams, Business Doc Europe
"A super interesting, creative, funny film that deserves to be seen at least twice." Helle Hansen, Modern Times Review
