Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
[Garcia] lets the picture start to go soft in the middle, and teary melodrama floods in like water from a broken dam.
– Rene Rodriguez,
Miami Herald,
2 Jun 2010
fresh:
A thoughtful and provocative film about the way we live now.
– Calvin Wilson,
St. Louis Post-Dispatch,
3 Jun 2010
fresh:
If Garcia's film never quite catches up with his ambitions for it, well, at least he's trying.
– Bill Goodykoontz,
Arizona Republic,
4 Jun 2010
fresh:
Obviously, this is emotionally rich ground and Garcia plows it perhaps a bit too heavily.
– Tom Long,
Detroit News,
4 Jun 2010
fresh:
What keeps the whole thing from toppling into an abyss of unwatchable TV drama histrionics is a pair of dynamite performances from Annette Bening and Naomi Watts.
