A pathological case study disguised as a romantic melodrama.

Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times
Rotten

This is powerful stuff, so why does the movie feel less convincing the longer it goes on? There are two ways to tell this story -- coolly distanced or melodramatically hot -- but [director] Kim combines both approaches, and the mixture doesn't congeal.

Ty Burr, Boston Globe

Time is well worth your time as a moviegoer.

Andrew Sarris, New York Observer
Rotten

As tautly 'pretty' and inexpressive as the results for those who compulsively seek cosmetic perfection.

Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

Few modern filmmakers are as adept at crafting a haunting image as Kim.
