In spite of Cartlidge's impressive performance in the lead, the film is simply not as involving or moving as it should be.

[Kerrigan] accepts the challenge of central characters who do not let us know what they're thinking.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
Devotes so much of its energy to building and sustaining a mood of urban desolation that the story never quite jells.
Stephen Holden, New York Times
Rotten
Less awful than inert, Claire Dolan comes across as a willfully bad movie.
