	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Debruge Variety	"[An] ill-conceived dramedy (...) Big things happen, only to be forgiven or forgotten by the following scene"
		Susan Wloszczyna The Washington Post	"[It] starts funny, then goes off the rails (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		David Lewis SFGATE	"[It] skillfully mixes broad comedy, genuine emotion and magical realism"
		Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"A criminal waste of acting talent (...) This is the sort of determinedly quirky would-be comedy that induces far more cringes than laughs. A quick exit from theaters is assured."
		Derek Smith Slant	"The gravity of Krystal's situation is also undermined at every turn by the filmmakers' excessively broad, comedic strokes (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"
