James Berardinelli wrote on ReelViews that the film was "first class" ("top - notch" ) and everything is in the right place. Jennifer Jason Leigh give the hitherto best representation of her career; for less you 've already won an Oscar. Alan Rudolph have successfully created a film that is as much a laugh as well as cry. One can only question the historical accuracy of the statements based on the known for hyperbole Parker 's version of events.
