Top critics, in their words

All reviews
Rotten

An attempt at an intimate personal drama that just doesn't come off.

Variety Staff, Variety
Rotten

This isn't a movie anyone would mind, but it isn't one anyone would feel terribly touched by, either.

Janet Maslin, New York Times
Rotten

A film which creates drama more out of gesture and nuance than dialogue, and employs a lush setting which overwhelms instead of pointing up the characters' emotions.
