Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Intriguing but overlong and indulgent, the work of a writer too in love with his characters.

fresh:
Serves as a relaunching pad for the magical talents of Maggie Gyllenhaal as Jude.

rotten:
Roos's movie is so aggressively pleased with itself it leaves you feeling it doesn't even need an audience.

[It] feels like Paul Thomas Anderson's Magnolia for adolescents.
