Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Wears one down with a long running time and diminishing returns on its wicked premise.

rotten:
Promises to skewer sexual politics but instead turns out to be a one-joke pony.

rotten:
A pedestrian film that provides little more than a superficial treat.
– Jonathan Curiel,

rotten:
This film might've fared better if those involved realized how fiercely their material begs for a plunge into the deep end.
– Nick Rutigliano,

fresh:
Director Francisco de Lombardi fills his sensual film with plenty of gorgeous shots of the lush landscape and its equally exotic, miniskirted 'fauna.'
