Release
The film was released in the United States on 12 September 2008. Reception
Sara Schieron of Boxoffice Magazine rated the film 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote that while the film is "tricky and sometimes perplexing", it is "seldom muddled and always sticking its neck out to reach toward some, if manic, exposition of the truths that lie beneath." Film critic Emanuel Levy wrote that while the "subject is nothing less than riveting" and the "honorable intention of the filmmakers is not in doubt" the narrative strategy and technical execution "leave much to be desired". Michelle Orange of The Village Voice wrote that the "broad strokes" are "overlaid with an impressionistic vigor and thematic intricacy that, had the director not succumbed to their extremes—a kind of insular sprawl, creating distance where interiority is the intent—might have elevated the film from its moorings." Tasha Robinson of The A.V. Club gave the film a rating of "C" and wrote that "Aloni's ideas are solid, but possibly too large and pointed to cram within fragile human flesh." Jeannette Catsoulis of The New York Times wrote that while "the message may be clear", the "execution is a mess." Hannah Brown of The Jerusalem Post rated the film 1 star and wrote that while "the message may be clear", the "execution is a mess." References
