While [director Sarah] Watt begins to offer an interesting study in paranoia, tinged with some good comic moments, her multi-stranded plot and last-minute recourse to romance ultimately lost the interest of this viewer.

Dave Calhoun, Time Out
Fresh

A black-humored screenplay, realistic performances, eye-catching artwork, and a few creative turns on some well-worn themes.

Janice Page, Boston Globe
Rotten

Filled with aloof and confused characters just treading water, and even if they are likable, it eventually becomes tiresome. It's like one big pity party.

G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle
Fresh

How each person copes with trauma and renewal adds up to a tender tale rich in memorable performances.

Tom Keogh, Seattle Times
Rotten

The bottom line is that none of this goes anywhere beyond a droning funeral procession.

Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle
