Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Pop stars continue to have bad luck in films.
– Jay Cocks,
TIME Magazine,
25 Mar 2013
rotten:
The movie is a facile enough pastiche of underground pyrotechnics and Euro-art pretensions, but far more evocative now is the fast, offhand repartee between the principals.
– J. Hoberman,
Village Voice,
25 Mar 2013
rotten:
Rapture and boredom both seem valid responses.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Reader,
25 Mar 2013
fresh:
Roeg's debut as a director is a virtuoso juggling act which manipulates its visual and verbal imagery so cunningly that the borderline between reality and fantasy is gradually eliminated.
– Tom Milne,

rotten:
It isn't altogether successful, largely because it tries too hard and doesn't pace itself to let its effects sink in.
