“The film … is by turns swaggering and sentimental, cocksure and callow.”
- ROGER MOORE, MOVIE NATION
“Amy Westcott’s costuming, especially intricately designed for the background actors, brings the flamboyance of the era to life without falling into the trap of overzealous nostalgia.”
- TOMRIS LAFFLY, FILM JOURNAL
“A look at the American Dream that cuts through the bullshit to show what the term truly means outside of false promises.”
- JARED MOBARAK, THE FILM STAGE
