Christian Science Monitor -
At once dreamily surreal, acutely intelligent, and strikingly tough-minded, this pitch-dark dramatic comedy recalls David Lynch and "Donnie Darko" while remaining fresh and original to its core. A stunning directorial debut.

Portland Oregonian -
A frustrating combination of inspiration and routine, acuity and dullness, originality and fashion. Part web-of-life indie film, part troubled teen drama, part suburban satire, part comic book fantasy, it vacillates between the engaging and the silly, buoyed by energetic performances but pulled underwater by self-satisfied writing and direction.

Dallas Observer -
Either a bit more humor or a bit more heart could exponentially improve things.

Film Threat -
A series of pretentious social commentary punctuated by windows of excellence that only make it more frustrating.

Austin Chronicle -
It's a Big Idea movie that comes out only half-baked.

He doesn't bother telling any of the adults because he knows they won't care. Everyone in town is too self consumed to worry about anything else than themselves. And everybody is on some form of drug just to get through their days.
