[Ms. Kassell and Mr. Fechter] trick up Walter's character with so many conflicting moods and impulses and then place him within a post-prison society that is itself alternately oppressive and permissive.
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer
Rotten
An involving, intense but ultimately confused portrait.
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
Fresh
To watch this picture is to feel, and what you're feeling is an intense swirl of conflicting emotions -- disturbed, creeped-out, sorry, and, yes, even moved.
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
Fresh
A flawed film that's well worth seeing.
Tom Long, Detroit News
