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.

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.

July 26, 2013 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

This film should appeal to urban dwellers.
