“Evocative Drama.” OC Weekly
“Although “Welcome to September” comments on ideas of beauty, happiness, and art, it is never pretentious. There’s just enough oddness to the characters’ behavior (a Chinese painter talks like Yoda and a bartender has a Webster’s dictionary within reach) to invoke sincerity and believability.”
Film Threat
“Director Philip Scarpaci has some valid points to make about the irrational nature of obsession and the way it blinds us to reality.”
Orange County Register
“A young man’s obsession with a beautiful woman in a painting causes him to temporarily lose his way. The film contains some interesting issues and its young stars are appealing.”
