Los Angeles Times, 02/20/1991, p.F1, "...A film both eloquently impish and brilliant....A jewel of a movie, a work of high literacy, bawdy good spirits, blazing wit, bizarre charm and eerie suspense..."

Rolling Stone, 11/29/1990, p.121, "...Pure pleasure....The film is extravagantly, mercilessly funny....[A] thrilling one-of-a-kind film..."

Premiere, 06/01/2005, p.119-120, "Conceptually and intellectually....This stands its ground handily..."
