Honest, unflinching and worthy of reappraisal.

Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times
Rotten

The literal train wreck that caps the film is an apt metaphor for this hallucinatory fiasco.

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Rotten

Pointless and an excruciating bore.

Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten

The movie itself feels like an overstuffed burrito: Nicola Pecorini's cinematography has verve but no visual sense, and the film's self-important pace turns deadening over the long haul.

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Rotten

Becomes an excruciating exercise in gothic excess and progressively more disgusting imagery.

Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
