While his girlfriend works at a stultifying office job, the slovenly man in this film attempts to write fiction while sitting at his kitchen table. As a Hungarian expatriate, one cannot imagine where he hopes to market it. His girlfriend is also an expatriate, and they have long since grown tired of one another, but each represents the only security the other knows. Seemingly their only topic of discussion is the nature of their unsatisfactory lives and their unsatisfactory relationship. To explore these burning issues, they engage in writing introspective poetry, analyze each other using incompletely understood psychology, and soothe themselves with uninspired sex. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
