Fails as entertainment, being so ineptly directed and written it often has the feel of a high school production by kids with more money and ambition than talent.

Jonathan Foreman, New York Post
Rotten

A minor addition to the tiny genre of feminist science fiction films.

Dave Kehr, New York Times
Fresh

It's a quiet tour de force for Tilda Swinton.

Laura Sinagra, Village Voice
Rotten

Stumbles from one catatonic scene to the next, mixing aggressively 'clever' ideas with strident dialogue.

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Fresh

Witty, surprisingly tender.

Ernest Hardy, L.A. Weekly
