Comedy It follows a trio of misfits whose irreverent, sexually charged dynamic evolves into a surprising love story as their spontaneous and flippant attitude towards the past or future backfires time and again, even as they inadvertently perform good deeds. When they make enemies with a gun-toting hairdresser, their journey becomes one of constant escape from the law, from society and from the hairdresser, all while the bonds of their outsider family strengthen.

	Author	Review
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"In the end, the project doesn’t really work. The Coen brothers have a touch for the absurd, and a gift for dialogue, that’s lacking here, and without those two qualities, Jesus wears out his welcome relatively early in the journey"	NEG
United States	Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"Turturro’s Jesus Quintana is certainly the best thing in this fluffy indie and it’s a pity he doesn’t have a more meaningful trajectory."	NEU
Canada	Norman Wilner Now Toronto	"Everyone is clearly happy to spend a day or two helping a pal realize his dream project. But then again, true pals would have asked Turturro why, exactly, he’d been dreaming of this."	NEG
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Charming if retrograde (...) Its genial vigor gradually comes to excuse Turturro’s abject lack of style"	NEU
United States	Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"[It] mostly bounces along powered by a lunacy that toggles between amiable and sinister (...) The movie doesn’t always work, but it’s never boring."	NEU
United States	Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times	"A gutter ball of a sophomoric, white middle-age male sex farce fantasy that quickly wears out an already tenuous welcome."	NEG
