Critics' reviews

"A drama of voyeurism and process (memorably entailing the secret lives of rusted screws, a perambulating cow's tongue, a windup chicken, and pigs' feet tortured by black wire) that is cut (Gatling gun style) and shot (handheld) like it was made yesterday."

Michael Atkinson: Village Voice
