Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
An underdeveloped film that requires all of [Collette's] ample skills merely to rise to the mediocre.
– Peter Howell,
Toronto Star,
20 Aug 2004
fresh:
Lots of pictures begin strongly only to lose their focus; this one gains momentum with every sequence -- ambivalent at first, we're firmly hooked by the final frame.
– Rick Groen,

fresh:
Tsunashima gives a deft performance in a role that starts out as caricature but becomes full-bodied. Collette commands the screen virtually the entire time.
– Peter Rainer,
New York Magazine/Vulture,

– Jay Boyar,
Orlando Sentinel,

Fails to engage us in the lives of its characters because it never really introduces them.
