Rotten
This dreary independent drama is essentially an art-world soap opera, but without the melodramatic verve that makes some soap operas interesting.
Ben Sachs, Chicago Reader
Overview
A young woman's arrival sparks a surge of energy into a laid-back, artistic Los Angeles household, forcing the residents to confront their own fears and desires in an intricate dance of lust, denial and deception.

What we have here is a household ripe with seduction, lust, betrayal and repression, all kept below the surface by increasingly strained good manners.

The direction is decent, and the film is handsome. But it's finally frustrating, enigmatic in a way that suggests emptiness more than mystery.
Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle

[A] lackluster indie drama ...
