Critics' reviews
- "The actors' scenes together are simultaneously abrasive and oddly gentle: two untamable people trying to stabilize each other."
- "A love story of two young people marginalized by family and society that becomes a scorching indictment of the indifference, cruelty and hypocrisy of those institutions"
- "One of the most deeply felt love stories of the screen in ways that you must endure a little suffering of your own to appreciate."
- "Strange and beautiful film about an ex-con and a disabled girl whose odd bond brings them briefly out of the dark."
