- Through an unconventional use of concise narrative, a conceptual collage of sounds and images, and a rapid-fire montage, Arthur Lipsett's first film vividly portrays the urban estrangement in the times of social erosion and materialism.
- The current day-to-day life is much different than what it was thirty or forty years ago, but it is the life to which we as people are now accustomed and take for granted. But it also provides us with what we must deal, including joys, happiness, sorry and anxiety. These thoughts are interpreted through a series of snapshots and sounds - some, what we now take for granted as being givens, but some more disturbing - combined in such a way to make one ponder if life is indeed better than it was thirty years ago.—Huggo
- In experimental filmmaker Arthur Lipsett's first film, an avant-garde story--sometimes eccentric, sometimes satirical--unfolds, through an unconventional use of concise narrative, various hints of documentary, a conceptual collage of sounds and images, and finally, a rapid-fire montage. In the end, by blending all these elements with stock footage, a rich collection of personal photographs and visible diametrical contradictions, the director attempts a vivid portrayal of urban estrangement, in the times of social erosion, cultural diversity, modern-time anxieties, cut-throat commercialism, and above all, rampant materialism.—Nick Riganas
