Reception
Lisa Schwartzbaum of Entertainment Weekly described the film as "Italian neorealism meets A Christmas Carol." [3] Nick Pinkerton of the Village Voice writes that Stabile "gets interesting scenes [...] though the movie's vérité is diluted by a cozy, adult-contemporary empathy with those less fortunate."[4]
