0/5
A dreadfully misguided movie whose story of redemption is utterly irredeemable. Go to Full Review
Ronnie Scheib Variety Aug 13, 2008

Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Aug 13, 2008
Stylistically as well as thematically complex. Go to Full Review

3.5/4.0
Easily one of the hidden jewels of the 2008 Indianapolis International Film Festival. Go to Full Review

2/4
