	Media	Author	Review
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"What Figgis demonstrates is that a theatrical film can be made with inexpensive, lightweight digital cameras (...) I recommend the film (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		A. O. Scott The New York Times	"It's amazing to see a film so brazenly experimental (...) that is at the same time so intent upon delivering old-fashioned cinematic pleasures like humor and pathos, character and plot."
		Tom Charity Time Out	"[It is] a conceptual in-joke; or it's a portent of cinema to come; or it's a brilliant but hollow technical exercise; or it's a dynamic if erratic ensemble improv. Make of it what you will, it's certainly something to see."
		Ben Falk BBC	"Obviously overly excited with his idea (...) Figgis has neglected a fundamental rule of any kind of movie: an interesting story (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Kim Newman Empire	"A pioneering use of split screen technology that perfectly compliments the subject matter (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
