Steven Oxman Variety Jul 9, 2020
But, while Lathan and Snipes have decent chemistry, the film never quite gets us to root for these characters enough to keep the story from edging consistently toward the tiresome. Go to Full Review
John Leonard New York Magazine/Vulture Feb 6, 2018
It's refreshing to see Snipes in a romantic role, and Lathan -- directed here, as she was in Love and Basketball, by Gina Prince-Blythewood -- is a wonder to behold. Go to Full Review
Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle Feb 7, 2001
4/4
