Reception
Robert Koehler of Variety wrote that while the cast "proves improvisationally capable", the plot is "rather conventional".[1]
Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times wrote that Weisman "slices and dices his images to such an extent that it takes a lot of time for the story lines and the key characters and their tangled and changing relationships to emerge with any clarity", and that "when it becomes possible to identify the people and keep track of them, they by and large prove to be generic characters rather than distinctive individuals."[2]
