Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Heavy on atmosphere but very light on plot.

rotten:
My impression remained this time around of an unfinished screenplay in which too many intervals of small talk masqueraded as the forerunners of emotional events that never materialized.
– Andrew Sarris,

fresh:
Heartfelt, painful, exhilarating and, above all, truthful.

fresh:
[Cornish] creates a character who pulls us in and makes us recoil all at once.
