A wondrous note-perfect homage to the moviemakers of the 1950s. - Dan Jardine

This sort of ‘downer’ might not be a big crowd pleaser, but it’s painfully honest and the makings of fine, meaningful cinema. - Brian Webster

The melodrama is not an exercise in style but a way of exposing the differences between the perceived utopia of 1950s suburbia and the bigoted and narrow-minded reality. - Derek Smith
