Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
There is scarcely a moment in the movie when the story works as fiction; I was always aware of the casting, of the mood-setting devices, of the stylistic borrowings from Hitchcock.

rotten:
For the most part the actors' work seems incomplete because their characters are cut off before they can fully blossom.

rotten:
Drew Barrymore stars in a melodrama that borders on high-class kiddie porn.

Unfortunate thesps take it all very seriously, while technical aspects are emptily polished.
