Top Critics Reviews

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.
– Cath Clarke,

fresh:
Obviously, this is emotionally rich ground and Garcia plows it perhaps a bit too heavily.
– Tom Long,

fresh:

– Bill Goodykoontz,
Arizona Republic,

fresh:
A thoughtful and provocative film about the way we live now.
– Calvin Wilson,
St. Louis Post-Dispatch,

rotten:
[Garcia] lets the picture start to go soft in the middle, and teary melodrama floods in like water from a broken dam.
