Quirky animated interludes fail to lift this dull US immigrant indie out of its introverted torpid state.

There's a low-key New York drama lurking somewhere, but Barron can't seem to decide if he's making that or something more flashy. November 14, 2008 | Rating: 2/6 | Full Review…

The creepy and original power of the film is the schizophrenic other who taunts him when he finally crawls home to his maggoty bedsit. Weird. November 14, 2008 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Some US indie films are so torpid, so pointless and so incredibly whingey that you want to reach into the screen and slap the face of everyone involved. This film, by writer-director Steve Barron, is one such. November 14, 2008 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

The film marries digicam naturalism to animated fantasy to oddsome but fascinating effect, rendering magical the inner world of the shy and almost muted Jorge. It's an unusual but valuable addition to the cinema of contemporary migration. November 14, 2008 | Full Review…

There's enough charm and enterprise here to win over viewers who have the patience to stick by the tongue-tied Jorge. An intriguing change of direction for pop-video pioneer Barron, though next time he might like to cut loose that bit more. November 14, 2008 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

It's all a bit anonymous despite engaging performances, especially from Yuan as the sunny optimist, but the character of Jorge is so cripplingly introverted that there's nothing to latch on to. November 14, 2008 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

They don't add up to much; and he's just too passive to make us care even slightly about whether he gets the girl or ends up taking a meat-cleaver to his rival. November 14, 2008 | Full Review…
