Mark Rappaport makes movies that look, sound and feel like nobody else's movies. He is an original.

Top Critic

An ironic and sometimes hilarious melodrama.

Chicago Reader
Top Critic

Producer, writer, and director Rappaport, unfortunately, falls into the trap of believing that a film can only be artistic if its characters are artistic as well.
