The story proper is, unfortunately, all over the map, and further hampered by the constraints of its means. But in newcomer Amy Blomquist, director Zendel has plucked a winner. Full Review |

2/5 |
A film that is too often merely tedious. Full Review |

|
|
The only real-life situations the movie evokes vividly are the circumstances of its own production: underrehearsed actors in hastily staged scenes speaking page after page of awkward expository dialogue. Full Review |

1/5 |
Apparently Zendel was too busy noting Stone's eccentricities to learn anything about directing. Full Review |

|
2/5 |
Though professionally produced on a micro-budget, Azita Zendel's ambitious writing-directing debut is undermined by an awkward script and some very amateurish acting. Full Review |

It's hard to tell whether film school grad Zendel thought she was crafting a new-millennium Sunset Boulevard, but what results is more like the cultish morass of Showgirls in its camp dramatization of a poisonous entertainment milieu. Full Review |

2/5 |
Often bumpy, naïve and erratically acted, static just where Mr. Stone's work, whatever you may think of it, is undeniably energetic. Full Review |

Plays like a bad daytime soap opera. Full Review |
