Film Reviews:
  • "A remarkably honest and sometimes rather grim look at the dark side of love and sex."
    Shadows on the Wall
  • "Schaeffer approaches film primarily as a writer-performer, controlling his flatly shot scenes from the inside, which serves to naturalize and energize exchanges between characters..."
    Variety
  • "Schaeffer’s movie brings to mind...qualities in film that tend to matter."
    Film Journal International
  • "[Schaeffer's] usual penchant for solipsistic navel-gazing is once again on full display... Brochere... has a sexy, charismatic screen presence."
    The Hollywood Reporter
  • "Schaeffer’s latest apes Before Sunrise’s walk-and-talk rhythms... pronouncing love, death, God and carnal knowledge..."
