Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Araki's best film in a long time.
The audience has gotten the point roughly 90 minutes before the characters do.
Manages to deal with its raw, awful subject matter in ways that are both challenging and illuminating.
This is a challenging and ultimately moving film that deserves to find a like-minded audience.
