No one in this sterile film is redeemed, condemned or even particularly humanized. . . . Ultimately, Fitzgerald’s gutless film is a muddled, grotesque travelogue.

Highlights the trap a filmmaker can fall into when he believes himself to be smarter--better somehow--than an audience that must get tired of being underestimated.

The disillusioned porn photographer remains an entirely unconvincing anti-hero despite his pangs of conscience.

Fitzgerald's dialogue rings true, and he captures performances, including his own, which belie the film's low production values.

A raw and disturbing look at exploitation.

[Fitzgerald's] bulky screenplay impedes his natural style.

An uncommonly sensitive drama about the poverty and hardship suffered by [Bucharest's] Gypsy residents.
