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.

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

It's tremendously entertaining, and probably worthy of repeat viewings.
