IN THE PRESS…

“The film’s handheld, floating look recalls the early work of Godard and Cassavettes, giving the decadence an airy and energetic feel.”

— Jordan Mintzer, The Hollywood Reporter

“A riveting visual subject suggesting miles of internal depth.”

— Andy Webster, The New York Times

“First-time director Alexandra McGuinness has cast anything but a sparing eye on the neophyte jet set in her La Dolce Vita–esque black-and-white film, Lotus Eaters.”

— John Lopez, Vanity Fair

“The free spirit-ness of its characters is certainly mirrored in the film’s aesthetic playfulness (sudden silences, slow motion, and rhythmic choppiness)”

— Diego Semerene, Slant
