Rotten
The film never lifts itself above its origin as a well-meaning, underdeveloped exercise.
A.O. Scott, New York Times
Rotten
A remake of a film by murdered Dutch director Theo van Gogh, it fails to captivate despite -- or perhaps because of -- the frantic acting efforts of Tucci and the normally reliable Patricia Clarkson.
Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Rotten
Ultimately, the joke goes on too long -- for the couple and for us -- and the film fades away before the final fade-out.
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
Rotten
It's overly faithful to the original and to Van Gogh's preferred three-camera setup.
Aaron Hillis, Village Voice
