Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
There's a low-key New York drama lurking somewhere, but Barron can't seem to decide if he's making that or something more flashy.
– Tom Huddlestone,
Time Out,
14 Nov 2008
rotten:
Overburdened with disorienting stylistic devices and contrived plot elements that reduce the psychological depth to which it aspires.
– Frank Scheck,
Hollywood Reporter,
28 Nov 2007
fresh:
In this case, what looks like an ambitious film-school project, complete with heavy-handed sincerity, experimental camera style, and an overplayed central metaphor, becomes gently lyrical and melancholy.
– Tasha Robinson,
Chicago Tribune,
26 Nov 2007
fresh:
Barron's direction is low-key but efficient.
– V.A. Musetto,
New York Post,

rotten:
The movie suffocates under the weight of too many wrong choices.
