Reception

The documentary had mixed reviews. The Times said "Theroux risks becoming the Alan Whicker de nos jours, a tourist with a typewriter, peering into these other lives but rarely getting dirty himself."

The Guardian called the work "an extraordinary film, a sad portrait of a very different California"
