Top Critics Reviews

Worth navigating for its refusal to play to the crowd. There's certainly nothing safe or sweet about Weaver's performance.

May be too painful and downbeat for many moviegoers. But it redefines courage in acting.

That which does not kill us makes us ... well, still alive.

fresh:
Sigourney Weaver dominates with her powerful performance but the film, a feature debut from theater director Scott Elliott, is so poorly conceived and staged that much of the emotional impact gets lost
