"A whimsical, reflective romance that deftly captures the off-center ambience of Tyler's fiction focuses on the unlikely relationship between a brooding hunk of a rock singer (perfectly captured by L.A. CONFIDENTIAL'S Guy Pearce) and the partially formed woman (Lili Taylor ) who becomes (yes) obsessed with him." Hollywood Reporter "Anne Tyler's intricate, haunting prose isn't easy to translate cinematically, though Toni Kalem does an admirable job animating the social and working-class milieu immeasurably aided by the strong and gutsy performances of Guy Pearce and Lili Taylor." Aint-it-cool-news.com "For me, thus far this year, THIS movie is my favorite. Lili Taylor and Guy Pearce are sooooo good in this movie that it just killed me."
