Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
What the movie lacks in acting and coherence, it more than makes up for through imagery.

rotten:
It's a hauntingly effective, poetic mood piece but an exasperating drama.
– Colin Covert,

fresh:
It is a bold step into a mainstream realm for its ancient fablelike theme, agile storytelling, magnificent design and sure grasp of long-form narrative structure.
– Ted Fry,

rotten:
This opaque tale offers meticulously crafted atmosphere, but rather less passion or drama.
– Bill Stamets,
Chicago Sun-Times,

fresh:
As in most of the Quays' fantasias, the narrative is oblique and slow moving but the florid visuals are rife with sexual and psychological overtones.
