Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
In a sense, it goes to all the places a sensitive character study might have gone, but more dramatically, convincingly and vividly.

This is Zonca's second feature. His first, The Dreamlife of Angels, was extraordinary. Rent that one instead.
We never get a good look at her demons, just the havoc they wreak.
