Reviews
If the world is going to hell in any number of handbaskets -- as Judge so acutely demonstrates that it is -- you might as well hitch a ride in his.
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
The film was shelved good and hard after its initial release, and it's not difficult to see why. It's just a little too close to genuine reality.
Dorothy Woodend, The Tyee
Judge has a gift for delivering brutal satire in the trappings of low comedy and for making heroes out of ordinary people whose humanity makes them suspect in a world where every inch of space, including mental, is mediated.
