Strong supporting actors ... give performances that serve to make their co-stars or the material look worse.

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

Only the latest feature to suck the air out of Destiny, moviedom's current bogeyman.

Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
