A sample of reviews from critics across the country.
Although the impressively acted ensemble piece occasionally gets tripped up by Peter Elkoff's overtly literate script, it travels in some unexpected, thoughtful directions.

Ritter, who's like the young Ethan Hawke on a bender of violence, is an actor to watch.
Probes class consciousness with rather more sensitivity than originality.
Too often Durst's direction is overly earnest, heavy in long takes, atmosphere wise but scene foolish.
Durst and Elkoff deliver a nuanced scenario of class assimilation and resentment, then flub the ending.
