Reception[edit]
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times rated the film 3 stars out of 4 and called it "charming, winning and sweet".[1]
Christine N. Ziemba of Paste gave the film a score of 4/10 and wrote that it "lacks both romance and laughs, largely due to a clunky script, stilted supporting performances and an unappealing leading character."[2]
Matt Pais of the Chicago Tribune rated the film 1.5 stars out of 4 and wrote that it "possesses a pretty warped perception of behavior that could be regarded as charming."[3]
Qwerty screened at over 20 film festivals, and won numerous awards, including an Honorable Mention for & Best Use Of Music In Film at the Nashville Film Festival.[4]
