Critical Mass is either a boho melodrama or a structuralist jape (and, depending on your temperament, probably a good deal more). One thing is certain: very little in this angry, funny film occurs only once... With Steve Reich's 1966 tape-loop rondo "Come Out" as a structural touchstone, the movie's a diachronic, minimalist remix in which every cadence of hot-headed accusation, every callow swerve into misdirection seems iterated only to be reiterated...

This title's wit inheres not only in its general metaphorical aptness, but in the thoroughgoing precision of its pertinence, for this domestic quarrel, like most, does fade out from time to time in its obstinate, draining repetition; it comes apart, leaving a blank, dazzling screen.
