## Reception[edit]

Richard Roeper of Chicago Sun-Times rated the film 3.5 stars out of 4 called the film a "small but ambitious and metaphysical and deeply poetic gem with big ideas, stunningly original visuals of Chicago — and beautifully honed performances from a cast that includes talented young actors and some veteran performers who bring a grounded, real-world, seen-it-all wisdom to their respective and somewhat mystical roles."[1] Dann Gire of the Daily Herald rated the film 3 stars out of 4 and wrote that the film "skirts across genres with the reliable grace of an el train hitting every station stop on its way through Chicago."[2]

Peter Martin of ScreenAnarchy praised the performances of Rathbone and Londo, writing that they "avoid overdramatizing their roles" and portray their characters in an " empathetic light". He also praised the characters they portray as being "likeable".[3] Robert Daniels of RogerEbert.com rated the film 2 stars out of 4 and praised the performances of Rathbone and Londo, writing that they "avoid overdramatizing their roles" and wrote that the film "stumbles to an unearned finish" and contains several "unnecessary" ingredients to a "narrative concoction brimming to overflow."[4]
