REVIEWS:
"The two actors beautifully evoke the establishment of a fragile fraternal bond.  Will put a lump in your throat."
                                               --  Stephen Holden, NEW YORK TIMES

"Remarkable. A shooting star. A revelation."          -- LE MONDE


“Stunning.  Overwhelms the American sensibility with the possibility of a search for morality.”                      --  Summi Kaipa, SAN FRANCISCO BAY GUARDIAN

“Tough and tender.  An iceberg of emotion.  The power of this film comes from what is left unsaid.”
                                                                                                                            —  David Ratzlow, INDIEWIRE
