Release

It was shown at Sundance Film Festival, where it was nominated for a Grand Jury prize. It later opened in several large cities across the country, including New York City, where it received a mixed, though admiring, review from The New York Times, and San Francisco, where it received a similar review from the Chronicle.

Reception

Lipsky, the director, got his start as a distributor of independent films such as John Cassavetes' A Woman Under the Influence, and some reviewers noted Cassavetes' influence on this film. Entertainment Today and the New York Observer both picked it as one of the best films of the year. Roger Ebert called it "one of the wisest films I can remember about love and human intimacy. It is a film of integrity and truth, acted fearlessly, written and directed with quiet, implacable skill."
