"The premise is certainly original."
"The script works well in deconstructing Lila through the filtered sounds of the radio as the songs and lyrics reflect her moods and situations."
"The dialogue caters very well to the overall hip syncopated beats of the script."
"The script follows the beat of the music played by the DJs as they stalk Lila. She is at the center. ... everyone is watching her."
"The DJs talk in music code as does Lila... Hip jiving DJ speak becomes the style and vernacular of almost every offbeat conversation."
"The script becomes hyper reflexive. Lila talks about her life as a script, "Is this the balcony scene?"..."
"The double-reflexivity (radio reflecting Lila's life and Lila's life reflecting the script to be a movie..."
"Really hardcore music buffs would definitely get a kick out of an in depth life is music script like this..."
