Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Akin makes this a most intriguing, if roundabout, journey from despair to 'do something.'
– Roger Moore,
Orlando Sentinel,
1 Jul 2005
fresh:
The power of Akin's film, which is considerably aided by the two lead performances ... comes from the spectacle of people developing feelings for each other even through numbing layers of mutual narcissism, self-loathing and raging terror of intimacy.
– Geoff Pevere,

fresh:
Violent and sexy and funny and sad.
– Rick Groen,

fresh:
A riveting love story that never flinches from the unsettling reality of a specific social issue or the universal joys that two people can bring to each other's lives, no matter how hard they try to bring agony to their own.
– Ted Fry,
Seattle Times,
6 May 2005
fresh:
A portrait of passionate, all-consuming love born out of desperation.
