ReviewsThe New York Times - In rushing in where wise men might fear to tread, Mr. Franco has accomplished something serious and worthwhile, indieWIRE - The film seems to have been made to suggest something of Faulkner's style in a cinematic medium, and it's certainly laudable that there have been very few concessions to the marketability of a project like this.
