Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A portrait of passionate, all-consuming love born out of desperation.
– Rene Rodriguez,
Miami Herald,
15 Apr 2005
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:
Violent and sexy and funny and sad.
– Rick Groen,
Globe and Mail,

– Geoff Pevere,

Akin makes this a most intriguing, if roundabout, journey from despair to 'do something.'
