If the plot is thin, at least the characters are interesting, and the performances are consistently strong.

Amy Fox's play, with New York cliches for characters, was never going to hit, ahem, the movie heights. But cut loose in the middle of a comic-book summer, Heights is just different enough, just adult enough, to warrant a climb and a look.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Rotten
None of it rings true, nor do precious affectations such as having one couple communicate with each other via walkie-talkies.
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
Rotten
Terrio may use such accelerating devices as a handheld camera and split-screen editing, but his movie still feels as inert as the piano chords in Martin Erskine and Ben Butler's score.
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star

Sufficiently enjoyable and intelligent to erase unpleasant memories of Merchant-Ivory's last foray into Manhattan ... it lacks the energy and vibrancy of the best films to come out of the city in the past few years.
Jason Anderson, Globe and Mail
