“Cinematography by Barton Cortright is just as clean and specific as his work on The Cathedral, a fine match for this film’s forthright spirit.” - The Film Stage
"Shot by Barton Cortright in a series of highly composed mini-tableaux, with a strange, glazed-frosted look to the texture, the film has the feel of a bad dream but a painfully comic one, although this is often the kind of comedy that makes you quietly gulp in disbelief rather than chortle.” - Screen Daily
“Barton Cortright’s static camera frames its subjects from a cold distance with sporadic emphasis on walls which conjoin at their corner, and it makes otherwise intimate surroundings like Ann’s apartment feel foreboding and vulnerable. It mirrors the type of vulnerability Ann puts herself through in the film, an outwardly unassuming young woman of very few words and physical expressions, who nevertheless involves herself in what some might consider “outlandish” sexual exploits. “ - Paste Magazine
