4 stars (Very Good) Joe Morton might be the most expressive actor on Earth. He sells his character's intellect, empathy and alien nature without ever uttering a word. The movie skips the tracks when it loads up one subplot too many but there are a lot of great moments.. ~Pearce
4 stars (Very Good) An early experimental film, with a very ironic opening! Totally hilarious, well-acted, startlingly humane! Very hard to describe...a rarity, well worth watching! - Sandy ~Sandy
