Baltimore Sun -
This smart, fanciful and brilliantly staged comedy takes a truly one-of-a-kind premise and makes it, of all things, a weirdly profound meditation on consciousness, identity, fame, gender and reality.

Entertainment Weekly -
The most excitingly original movie of the year.

Washington Post -
So full of creativity, so subversive, so alive.

TNT RoughCut -
Unfortunately, no awards committee is hip enough to praise this strange masterpiece.

San Francisco Chronicle -
It's tremendously entertaining, and probably worthy of repeat viewings.
