Release and reception
The film was a commercial failure that met with mixed reviews. One critic panned it and said, "after seeing this film I need a new gun so I can shoot myself." But the film was praised by another critic for its "masterfully understated structure" and eccentricities, which some considered to be influenced by Thelma and Louise or an update of Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House. Terrence Rafferty of The New Yorker praised the film for its cinematography and stated that "Cochran’s screenplay delights in fouling up the audience’s expectations". Emanuel Levy has noted the way in which "the gifted director Stacy Cochran examines suburbia in a manner devoid of the usually nasty, mean-spirited approach to the subject", and unlike other downtown New York films, it "displays no irony or condescension; yet its quirkily laconic, minimalist perspective goes against expectations."
