Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Strong supporting actors ... give performances that serve to make their co-stars or the material look worse.

rotten:
Begins to feel like a coffeehouse conversation about a movie that's all about meanings and motif rather than substance and characters.

rotten:
Only the latest feature to suck the air out of Destiny, moviedom's current bogeyman.
– Jessica Winter,

fresh:
The acting surprise in this odd and interesting film is Anne Heche, who suppresses her sexy, acerbic essence and completely slips into the skin of Auggie's pen pal.

fresh:
Has the earmarks of a sleeper: an unusual and involving premise persuasively and fully realized.
