Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
Only Lucy Liu's insanely perky neighbour emerges with any real credit.
Mark Salisbury, Time Out
Rotten
It shrinks your perception of what movies can do.
David Edelstein, New York Magazine/Vulture
Rotten
Everything in it -- every confusion, every line of unspeakable dialogue, every red herring, every camera setup -- has been borrowed from some movie you've seen before.
Rex Reed, New York Observer

It finally all makes sense after a fashion, and I think and hope that you will be entertained by all the narrative legerdemain.
