Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Ambition and accomplishment are aeons apart in this would-be meaningful drama.

fresh:
In the end, Life is a challenging success, with Wood's performance again affirming her status among the young generation of actors, and Perelman's vision promising more intrigue to come.

rotten:
What you get, in the end, is a pair of fine performances (from Thurman and Wood) and a technically well-made film that arrives at a foregone conclusion.

fresh:
Thoroughly thought through and photographed with imagination and psychological penetration, it's the product of a very shrewd directorial hand.

rotten:
Perelman never overcomes the disjuncture of having two familiar actresses play the same grown character, and despite the endless crosscutting, the two halves settle respectively into ghoulish foreboding and murky psychological drama.
