Above all, Cholodenko has brought together an ensemble of wonderful actors, where each member fills a very distinctive character to life. [ ... ] Cholodenko's feat is to give their banal basically everyday history through observation great truth that proves itself in the fact that the characters act contrary to the expectation and so every stereotype of the "typical" Californians - a view about the in land held high political correctness - challenge. The result is a multi-faceted picture that can just convince its flaws, because it is all too human. "
