Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Less than propulsive as a narrative, but provocative, instructive, consistently surprising and a kind of slow-motion thriller.

rotten:
Despite being inspired by actual events, it all comes off more confounding than tragic or romantic.

fresh:

fresh:
It can be a strategically off-putting movie yet one that also steals under your skin scene by scene and through Ms. Schnoeink's slowly revealing performance as an ill-fated heroine turned future biographical footnote.

One thing's certain: This is no swoony love story. It intoxicates all the same.
