Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
The movie is lifeless for its first hour, and the last-minute outpourings are too little, too late.

rotten:
An evocative but ultimately hollow indie drama.

rotten:
The diminishing returns in part are due to Burdge's performance, which too often settles for the same look of fraught anxiety. But they also result from Fidell's decision to pare her film down to the barest elements.

rotten:
Ms. Fidell ... has a fine eye but not the makings of a feature-length movie here and, it quickly becomes clear, isn't interested in this relationship or the moral, ethical and legal issues it raises.

rotten:
Fidell's mature style and Burdge's lack of guile are engaging. As the film's emotions grow darker, a lack of ideas comes through.
