« A fable of poetic density with extraordinary performances. » (The New York Times)

« A movie about cheap whiskey and black coffee, all-night drunks and lost jobs, and the bad times you can have with good-time girls. It's like a collage made out of objects from old gangster movies, old blues songs and old jailhouse stories. It's about two people who choose to be losers and a third who has bought the American Dream. » (Roger Ebert)

« Le film ressemble à une BD burlesque, lente et noire. » (Télérama)
