[Cornish] creates a character who pulls us in and makes us recoil all at once.
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News

Heartfelt, painful, exhilarating and, above all, truthful.
G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle

Andrew Sarris, New York Observer
Rotten
Heavy on atmosphere but very light on plot.
