Top Critics Reviews

rotten:

– Rick Groen,

rotten:
An excruciating drama about a couple caught in the aftermath of a pivotal moment involving their college-age son.

San Francisco Chronicle,

Seattle Times,

rotten:
This feels like a movie that won a high school current-events contest: Take a tragedy, make a movie.
