Narcissistic, skin-deep, cautionary tale about the dangers of middle-aged married women having flings with young men.

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Fresh

A hauntingly honest and provocative look at what an all-consuming love can in fact consume.

Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
Fresh

Rouan's writing, as far as can be judged from subtitles, is pointed and vital. Her performance is superb.

Stanley Kauffmann, The New Republic
Fresh

By the end of the film, we have come to admire Rouan's courage as a performer and a filmmaker, in following Diane's mania as far as it will go.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten

Weak, superficial, and unconvincing, it turns what could have been a searing experience into a trite, overwrought melodrama.

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
