Release[edit]
It was shown at Sundance Film Festival, where it was nominated for a Grand Jury prize.[citation needed] It later opened in several large cities across the country, including New York City, where it received a mixed, though admiring, review from The New York Times,[3] and San Francisco, where it received a similar review from the Chronicle.[4]
Reception[edit]
Lipsky, the director, got his start as a distributor of independent films such as John Cassavetes' A Woman Under the Influence,[5] and some reviewers noted Cassavetes' influence on this film.[6] Entertainment Today and the New York Observer both picked it as one of the best films of the year.[7] Roger Ebert called it "one of the wisest films I can remember about love and human intimacy. It is a film of integrity and truth, acted fearlessly, written and directed with quiet, implacable skill."[8]
