Reception
Richard Brody in his review of the film for The New Yorker stated that "The romantic heart of the film is the creation of memories; as the characters wander into bittersweet adventures, they leave breadcrumb trails of instant nostalgia. With his blend of delicate understatement and raucous spontaneity, Rozier may be the most secretly influential director of the era."
