That the film exists at all is a more cogent commentary on the nation's collective trauma than any of the direct statements or potential metaphors contained within.
Karina Longworth, Village Voice
Rotten
In its histrionic dream logic, the movie says as much about Eastern Europe as Twilight does about the Pacific Northwest. Frankly, you'd be better off self-abusing.
Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York
Rotten
A sordid welter of sexual sadism, incestuous necrophilia and 'snuff movie' nihilism.
Nigel Floyd, Time Out
