Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Though the picture rightfully belongs to Bassett, a final word must be said about Fishburne, who never fails to make Ike seem human if not defensible. Even in defeat, he is remarkably compelling.
– Kenneth Turan,

fresh:
Fishburne's astonishing portrayal of Ike is what holds the movie together. The actor builds, in precise increments, a devastating portrait of a macho control freak; he even finds a kind of ghastly humor in the character's madness.
– Terrence Rafferty,

fresh:
Angela Bassett is a wonderfully sympathetic screen presence who may have a big career ahead of her.
– Jay Boyar,

fresh:
Their nuanced performances give a spectrum of emotional shadings to a black-and-white script that casts Tina as the Beauty to Ike's unreconstructed Beast.
– Carrie Rickey,
Philadelphia Inquirer,
29 Jul 2013
fresh:
A powerful portrait of emotional endurance, propelled by the outstanding performances of Bassett and Fishburne, both of whom lend a crucial dimension to the gradual redundancies of Kate Lanier's otherwise insightful screenplay.
