"If you liked "Magnolia," you'll also like Mind the Gap."
Film Threat Merle Bertrand

"Warm-hearted but clear-eyed indie effort richly repays audience patience during deliberately paced and provocatively allusive early scenes with a cumulative emotional impact that is immensely satisfying."
Variety Joe Leydon 

"Mr. Schaeffer takes his time cryptically setting up his characters' situations in the film. When they finally start moving toward one another and revealing their secrets, the revelations flow like diet soda." 
The New York Times Anita Gates

"Formulaic but surprisingly affecting drama."
TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
