Reasonably entertaining but largely uninspired.

Brendan Kelly, Variety
Rotten

An adequate psychological thriller on a topical theme -- Repressed Memory Syndrome -- but with little special quality, few frills or thrills, and a relaxed, almost languid exposition.

Wally Hammond, Time Out
Fresh

It's an easy-to-watch movie that will be even easier on video, where it should turn up any minute.

Caryn James, New York Times
Rotten

It's mysterious and sexy enough to keep tension alive until, too bad, the whole thing collapses with a twist ending that is nearly laughable.

Peter Stack, San Francisco Chronicle
Fresh

[Hall] can't triumph over the problems in the script, or tie up all the loose ends, but his brisk, competent approach does minimize the effects of these flaws.

Hal Hinson, Washington Post
