Rotten
It is so focused on its own boldness, its dare-to-shock sensuality (the film got an NC-17 from the MPAA, but is being released unrated), that nothing else comes through.

When Night is Falling has too many unintended laughs for its passion to be convincing.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh
Rozema is a fabulist with a strong visual sense, and she creates a distinctive, enclosed world to illustrate Camille's odyssey.
Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
Symbols are supposed to be subtle, but Rozema is intent upon bludgeoning the audience with them.
