“Lewis displays the complexities of American life...buffeted by the competing influences of “Romeo & Juliet,” pop-culture and (Johann) Strauss.  Any parent who's experienced guilt and doubt will identify –   Rob Hurwitt, SF Chronicle  

“A tense frightening thriller that dredges up provocative issues about life in 21st – century America…a taut fraught examination of guns, teens and detonation of the nuclear family.” – Chad Jones, SF Examiner

“A taut 75-minutes of intergenerational suspense.”  - George Heymont, My Cultural Landscape
