...Bold and imaginative...
Rolling Stone
4 stars out of 5 -- [A] movie that isn't only touching and revealing, but occasionally even beautiful.
Total Film
Rating: B+ --
German director Eli Edel has fashioned a grim yet coherent and extremely well acted tale out of Hubert Selby's 1964 collection of short stories about misfits, criminals and outsiders in Brooklyn's Red Hook, circa 1952.

Rating: B --
For the most part, Edel captures the harrowing grim tone of the book and the compassion the author had for his unsympathetic flawed characters.
