[I] found it a trifle pretentious and confusing and was sad to discover that the rest of the movie never quite matched the moments during which Bobby Short belted out the title song.

The film, within its own limited and minor ambitions, succeeds admirably.

Feels like lesser Luis Bunuel (or Derek Jarman); it's an intriguing short-film idea stretched out to feature length, worth a glance primarily as an artifact of its time.
