A bizarre mixture of the surreal, the sensual, the beautiful, and the absurd, all tied together in a quickly paced collage of humor and photocopy fetish. All of the film's images were created solely by using the photographic capabilities of a photocopying machine to generate sequential pictures of hands, faces, and other body parts. |
| "True art in the age of mechanical reproduction - a rhythmic celebration of a photocopier's cinematic potential." |
| -Filmfest DC |
| "Takes a game we've all played with our hands, faces, and other body parts and raises it to the sublime." |
| -Dallas Observer |
| "A swinging essay about physiognomy in the age of photo-mechanical reproduction." |

| -Northwest Film & Video Festival |
